I have a custom menu bar that has a couple of menu lists, with a list of five custom commands that i want to run,depending on what is selected.I know you can assign a macro to each command,but is there a way to know which command has been selected.
What i want to do is to have 1 macro that will run several functions depending on what was selected, rather than 1 macro for each button
Hi all,
I was wondering if you could use custom menu bar commands to open reports and varying the recordsource of the reports according to which command you choose. For instance, if the user wants to view a report for January, he clicks on the January menu bar button. And I do not wish to use macros as there might be many macros to use.
Was looking at it and I am able to use my own vb functions but was wondering if I could use the tag field under the customise menu bar command to specify which records to filter to?
Maybe I should just use a form with all the code behind. lol... :p
Does anyone have a source that lists basic Access (2000) commands. I have training in SQL server (so I am just starting out) but I am working with Access and the commands aren't always the same and the help files in Access aren't much help.
My immediate need is to find the equivelant of the go command. I am trying to build one query with multiple update statements.
Searching returned too many relationship questions so appols if the answer was staring in my face.
A = big company database (updated monthly by the big cheeses)
B = small "team" database (continually, manually updated by ground level staff)
on the first of the month A is updated
B contains various records from A, but doesn't link in any way (nothing changes when A changes)
I want to change this - I want a query whereby B looks in A, and updates:
1: the balance (how much the customer is in credit or debt)
2: the identifier (a number used to identify customer treatment - e.g 1 - customer is blind, send brail info, 2- customer always pays on time, 5% discount - this changes day in day out)
So lets say, for simplicities sake there are 3 fields in both databases, the 2 above and a number primary key.
How would I do it? bearing in mind both databases are seperate.
(note/edit)
also note I only want to run the query at the start of the month - as reflecting the info of A would result in the data in A+B being 31 days out of date at the end of the month (as opposed to just A)
(useless info :) )
The idea of this is to reinforce integrity in B at the start of the month - ensuring everything is correct, whilst still allowing workers to update the info during the month (allowing me to make sure the highest value debt is worked first)
So I've been able to link in a table to my orders table. The thing is that my employer needs me to link to two tables. One that holds the tasks that needs to be done. This is completed. Now I need to link the orders table into a version history table with a sub linked table of features related to each version. The problem is that when I link in the version table then when I alter the table and try to access the table view then I can only asign one relation. Is there a way around this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter checking on the validity of data entered in a contol on a sub form using the beforeupdate event focus is moved to a password field on the main form. After entering a valid password I would like the focus to be returned to the control on the subform. How would I do this. There are a number of controls on the subform that would be validated in this way so writing the code once with a variable that holds the name of the referring control would be best.

Can anybody tell me whether it is possible to use a global variable defined in a vb module as part of the criterea in a query, if not whether there is a work around.
I suppose I could temporarily write the data to a table and use it from there, I thought there would be less messing around this way though.
Cheers
It is possible to refer in a SQL statement to the "current" or "actual" record?I want to base the querry in the present value of two related tables. I will try to show you what I have to do, maybe you can give an alternative solution.These are the tables:tblTeam (idTeam, TeamName, DayCreated)tblTeamPerson (idPerson, idTeam)tblPerson (idPerson, PersonName, MusicPreference)Every person have a music preference, and the teams have to be formed by people with similar music preference.So, one way to filter that is to use the following method: everytime I create a team, I choose a person, ok. That firts guy is the one that will give the team his "MusicalPreference". The next members with different MusicalPreferences will be excluded from the query.But in order to do that, I need to refer to the current team that have 1 member, and use the value of the field MusicPreference in that Person in particular.I hope you have understand what I have to do, and I hope you can help me with this.P.S.: I´m using a combo-box with a special query in a subform to select the team members. In the main form I create the team. So it would be great to be able to use that "idTeam" value in relation with the firts team member of that team.

i have a subform which appears on numerous forms,
in this subform thereare fields with dbl_click commands to open other forms
however, on one parent form where this subform appears, i wish 2 queries to run prior to the form closing
i have one way, which is very messy, and involves updating unbound controls to feed iif statements
is there another way thru utilising some public functions, and or active screen properties, that would be more efficient.
many thanks
Hello,
I would like to issue a system command from within a VBA function. Specifically, I'd like to start another application using a command-line startup command, but am not sure how to do that.
Any suggestions?

I have been working on customizing MS ACCESS to
produce a report that involves one mathematical
computation from my input data. However, I've run
into a problem because I can't get the program to
carry out a logic command that would work fine in
MS Excel: the "IF" command. Specifically, what I'm
doing involves a calculation, where one data input is
subtracted from another data input, but if the difference
is a negative number, I would like to substitute the value
of ZERO. The closest I've come to achieving this is to
enter the condition ">0" while in Query Design mode, but
the problem with this approach is that if the difference
is a negative number, the report does not display the
data that resulted in the calculation of the negative number.
In other words, I want the data to be included in the report,
but I want a "Zero" to be substituted for all calculations that
produce a negative number. For example, if I enter a set of
data, and the two numbers that get subtracted are 40 minus
36, then the difference is positive 4, and so I want a "4" to
be displayed; But if the two numbers to be subtracted are
36 minus 40, the result is negative, and so I'd want the
report to display a "zero" in the calculation.
Please advise me on how to set this up, as the only approach
I've found resulted in all negative calculations being omitted
from the report.
Thanks for your help.
I was quite familiar with DOS commands and was able to create access DBs and write the VBA button code. However that was quite a few years ago and Ive forgotten it all.For every image file in DIR A or subdirectory If that image file exists in DIR B, then delete the image in DIR B.

I was trying out the options on the startup item of the tools item on the menu bar and my access window has gone except the following menu items: File,Window and Help.
Can someone kindly show me how to bring back these seemingly lost items?
Thank you for your willingness to help me out!
Zooming commands when working with relationships
1.Im wondering why there is no option to zoom in and out as we are working with relationships.
2.And even the option show all is not working; some of the tables in the relationship are kept hidden (screenshot is attached)! How could we work in this environment?
3.I do know the I can use the scroll bars, but they are not enough to perform the work more professionally
These features are available in most of the software!to zoom in/out To pan .To zoom all (extent Where are they in the relationship in Access?
I've been creating an automated way for users to import an existing DBF III file into an Access Table and then I'll be doing some other things after it's in. The user needs to be able to click a command button to open up a file picker, select the desired DBF and then click import and have it be imported into a new table.
Originally I had this all working because there was only one possible file name for the DBF file in each folder so instead of using a file picker I used a folder picker and supplied the file name in the VBA code as it was static.
However, I now need the user to be able to select a specific file and the name could be anything.
I've successfully edited the file picker to allow them to select a file however the importing is an issue. In order to do a TransferDatabase command I need the file path alone for DatabaseName and the file name alone for Source.
What would be the best way to split those two pieces of data up once the user has selected the file they need?
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 RelatedI want to run multiple SQL commands on click of a button. I have these three command,

I was asked to create a table within an existing database using these SQL commands;
CREATE TABLE Vehicle (reg_no TEXT(10)
CONSTRAINT VehicleKey PRIMARY KEY,
type TEXT(10),
purchase_date DATETIME,
last_service_date DATETIME, mileage_at_last_service INTEGER);
I was told to save the query and check the new table had the required records in it.
I had huge problems when I tried to save the query and kept getting error messages like: "query must have at least one destination field" and "syntax error in field destination". This was strange since I was sure I typed the query exactly as it had been written on the worksheet.
Having not changed the SQL command at all it eventually worked when I skipped the 'save query" stage and just went to the "run query" stage. I still don't know why it actually worked in the end and why I kept getting error messages.By running the query am I supposed to just click on "RUN" or can I check the information first by looking at datasheet view?
I have a button on my form, that runs a series of queries then closes the form. It works great!!
How can I get the MsgBox feature to continue with all commands or cancel and close the form?
Here is my code without message box action
Private Sub AcceptChanges_Click()
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
Forms!SelectCustomerNewCustomerF!MergedRecordsF!CustomerID = Me.SecondID
Forms!SelectCustomerNewCustomerF!MergedRecordsF!MergedTo = Me.IDprimary
Forms!SelectPrimaryNewCustomerF!MergedRecordsF!UserID = Me.UserIdChange
DoEvents
[Code] ....
All of these actions work great, and do not need to be modified. it is just a msg box button to continue or cancel and close the form.
I have had my 4th SQL/APP Dev lab class, however I missed the 5th.
Our 5th lab was .
1. Create 3 tables, populate with given data and create relationships. 'Customer, Invoice, Payment'
2. We were given 8 queries to try do, we had to come up with which commands would be used.
I have no 1 completed.
As for no 2.. we are still learning all the commands, so the lab here is for us to find what commands we think will be used. I have researched and have them all 6 queries we have to run.., I have all those commands written out on paper which I think are answers..how to find the command line to test them.
I'm using Access 2007 on Windows 7.
I need to send commands to an external device using a serial port.My understanding is that that I need to select the reference to the Microsoft Communications Control (MScomm32.ocx).But is not available in the list of references!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wish to create a forms that has command button which display a drop down list. The drop down list should contain commands for reports and forms.
Lets assume we have forms named FrmStock, FrmSales and we also have Reports named RptUserLog , RptTurnover.
I was curious,
How do you add a Menu to a form? Like is there a way to have a Main Menu bar and add the individual menus/menu items with custom events? As well can i cusomize the context menu for the form, or make a popupmenu that is executed upon clickin a command button?
There is a lot of help on how to attach menus to properties and such, but I can't find an item "Menubar" in the access interface.
