Required Entry If Check Box Is Blank

Aug 22, 2013

I have a lot of fields that I want to make required entry only if one of the check boxes I have is blank. If the check box is blank then I don't want any entries to be required.

For example, I have a form that needs to be filled out only if a machine is running, if the machine is not running then only certain fields need to be filled out and the user will select the check box labeled "Machine not running".

BTW, I'm very new to Access and have no experience with implementing code, other than with excel.

Required Fields And Subform Entry Order

Jun 23, 2005

Hi,

I have created a form with 3 subforms. This form is split in to 3 parts on a 3-page tab control.

I want the user to enter data in the order below. All fields are required. My problem is that Access97 wants all fields of the main form to be completed in the order set by the table. ie. before I fill in a sub form. I have tried setting the form tab order property but it is being overridden.

First page:
a) Complete first 6 fields of main form
b) Complete subform 1
c) Complete subform 2
Second page:
d) Complete 5th field of main form
e) Complete subform 3
f) Complete 6th field of main form
Third page
g) Complete three fields of main form

Any help appreciated,
Seth

Forms :: How To Make A Text Box Entry Required

Nov 27, 2014

I know how to make a text box entry "required" such that one cannot exit a record until a value is entered but cannot figure out how to make it required only if another field on the form has an entry. None of the form events seem to support that when focus moves to another record as far as I can tell. What I want to do is display an error message if the condition is not met on exiting a record but to also remain on (or go back to) that record so the required text box entry can then be made.

Forms :: Manage MsgBox With Blank Required Fields By Function In A Module

May 11, 2013

I created this function to manage a MsgBox containing all required fields with no data:

Code:
Function FormValidation(TheForm As Form) As Boolean
Dim boolResponse As Boolean
Dim strError As Variant
Dim ctl As Control
boolResponse = True
strError = Null

[code]...

Then, I have a Form_BeforeUpdate event, where I wanna place the function, which contains also some VBA code to manage duplicates records:

Code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset, dbs As DAO.Database, strICAO As String
Dim ctl As Control, txtMsg As String

[code]....

Now, how to add the function in this event to get these two results:

1. if required fields are blank and I press OK on the MsgBox, the routine must stop;
2. the focus must go in the first required blank control.

I tried some options but I get different kind of malfunctions: no custom message for duplicate records but only the access default one, "go to next record" feature with tab key not working and so on.

Forms :: Check If All Required Fields Have Been Filled

Jun 27, 2015

I tried to check if all required fields have been filled before saving the record using the following code.

Private Sub txtReportNo_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.cboMainCat) Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox ("Please enter Data for Main Cat")
Me.cboMainCat.SetFocus
End If
Repeat above code for all required controls here.
End Sub

It did not work with following error code.

Run-time error 2108

You must save the field before you execute the GoToControl action, the GoToControl method, or the SetFocus method.

The error message contradicts my original intention that prevents from saving without all required fields have been filled. Is there any way to get rid of this error message?

In addition, under the value of certain field, I need to check additional fields under that scenario. Is any additional code required to add in for that purpose?

Data Entry Using Blank Form?

Apr 6, 2005

I have searched the forum and asked some of my colleagues about this and I do not seem to be getting anywhere. :(

What I need is to be able to use a (blank, ie showing no current records) form to enter data into a new record.

I have Tables A and B in a 1-to-many relationship and I need to be able to bring up a blank form which has:

1. a combo box, allowing me to select the relevant record from the parent (table A), and ...
2. blank fields (from the child - table B) to fill in with new data.

I can set this up using a standard setup, where all records are shown, but this is confusing to a dumb user, who really only wants to see relevant boxes for them to fill in without the distractions of data in fields they are not concerned with or with other records they do not want to know about.

Can anyone help? :)

Forms :: Combo Box With Blank Entry

Aug 7, 2013

I have created a form that searches through one of my tables, via a query, it then automatically creates a report from that query.

I want to add an option into the combo box's that is blank.

Currently if you wanted to choose by 'fault category' but accidently click on 'failure analysis', it will take the top value of the combo as the entry, you can't then blank 'failure analysis'.

Each combo box gets its information from an independent table.

The only think I figured out what adding the refresh button which just closes then reopens the form so all the fields go blank.

Retrieve Blank Form Upon Record Entry

Jul 12, 2013

I have code that is executed with the click of a button to enter a new response using 2 fields to differentiate the records: a combobox "cboSrvID" and a textbox "RspnsName". I have a different set of questions for each value in the cboSrvID. Upon selecting my button the record is saved correctly although I would like it to open the blank form associated on the subform "sfrmSurveyResponses" when pushed. I have tried some DoCmd.FindRecord and DoCmd. GoTo functions to try and retrieve the last acLast RspnsID inputted. So far I have had no luck.

Below is the code for the onClick action of my button.

Code:
Private Sub cmdEnterResults_Click()
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qappNewResponses"
Me![sfrmResponses].Requery
End Sub

Form Entries Leaving Entry Boxes Blank

Sep 6, 2006

I have a form that allows users to search the database for records based on there criteria. The form allows the user to search, through combo boxes, by variables. The first is MAT, the second is Relocation Area. The search works fine when the user selects options form the combo boxes. However sometimes it is neccesary to leave the location field blank and only search by MAT. When the location combo box is left blank no records are found. Is there anyway around this. The SQL code for the query is below:

SELECT [Extract Data].[ID], [Extract Data].AREA, [Extract Data].[MAT], [Extract Data].[Relocation Area 1], [Extract Data].[Relocation Area 2], [Extract Data].[Relocation Area 3], [Extract Data].[Grade Score]
FROM [Extract Data]
WHERE ((([Extract Data].[MAT])>forms![Data Search]!SearchMAT) And (([Extract Data].[Relocation Area 1])=Forms![Data Search]!SearchArea)) Or ((([Extract Data].[MAT])>Forms![Data Search]!SearchMAT) And (([Extract Data].[Relocation Area 2])=Forms![Data Search]!SearchArea)) Or ((([Extract Data].[MAT])>>Forms![Data Search]!SearchMAT) And (([Extract Data].[Relocation Area 3])=Forms![Data Search]!SearchArea));


Any help would be much appreciated

Subform Data Entry Problem Blank Line

Jul 7, 2005

I have a main form where the user chooses a BoxID. There is a subform on this main form that has a relationship between BoxID on the main form and subform. The users are entering data in the subform and when they have entered 10 lines of info I have a message that tells them to start a new box (I could not work out how to do it any other way as I lack VB skills). The user closes the form or clicks add new record to create a new box. If I view the previous record there should only be 10 lines of information in the subform but there are 11 as it takes the blank line as a new record....

Queries :: Search Not Returning Results With A Blank Entry

Oct 25, 2013

I have a switchboard which runs a google style search query to find people based on their first name, surname, date of birth or NI number on clicking the search button. It uses the following criteria in the query Like "*" & [Forms]![SearchF]![Firstname] & "*" for each of the above fields.

This works perfectly until someone inputs a record that doesn't have anything in one of the fields. ie, full name and DoB, but no NI number. When a record is entered in this way, the table stores the record but the search query cannot find it.

Jan 24, 2005

Hi..

I have a form with a subform where the user has to enter some data in them. when the user moves to the subform the data in the form automatically get saved in the table(you all know that i suppose).
In the form i have a back button where the user is able to go back to the main form.the code of the button is:


If MsgBox("Do you want to save before exit?", vbYesNo, "Save") = vbYes Then
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSave
MsgBox ("Data has been saved.")
DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.OpenForm "Main"
Else
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord
DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.OpenForm "Main"
End If
Else
DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.OpenForm "Main"
End If


my problem is when the user hasn't entered any data and wants to return i would get an error (because i'm trying to delete a record which doesn't exist
) how can i check if a record has been eneterd.
if new entry then
deleterecord,close,open mainform
else
close,open main form
endif

thankxx in advance..

Check For No Data Entry

Nov 4, 2005

I have some fields on a form that are update once a cmbo box is updated. They are updated by dlookups. However the fields that it looks up maybe empty so nothing is entered. So the user can enter the information themselves. On exit i would like to check to see if the field on the form is empty if so to flag up a msg.

i.e.
if me.field = "" then
msgbox "You havent completed this field"
end if

However when i run this it doesnt detect that the field is blank. Is this because the field is being updated with a blank field from the dlookup. I have even tried = null.

I hope this makes sense. Thanks

Modules & VBA :: Check Data On New Record Entry?

Oct 14, 2014

We have a table, JobRegister that people enter information on using a form, FrmOrderEntry

I would like to run a check when a serial number is entered in the field SerialNo to see if the same serial number exists where CompletionDate is null.

this would stop duplicate open orders being put on the system, or new orders being entered where the previous order hasn't been completed.

Queries :: Pulling Records Based On Blank / Non-blank Criteria

Jul 18, 2013

I have a couple different reference files that get updated each week. Sometimes there are missing data elements, so I'd like to structure a select query to show me those records that have blank elements but I'd like the similar records to be pulled in as well, so I can make a determination as to how to populate the blank records..

See attached example: I have a client ID reference table that gets populated with forecast owner names (individuals responsible for the customer) from a couple of different sources. Sometimes there are names attached and sometimes the field is blank.

How can I structure a query to show me just those Client ID's that have multiple entries with blank AND non-blank forecast owners? I'd also like to exclude single/multiple records where there are only blank records...

Query Criteria With Blank And Non-blank Text Records

Mar 13, 2007

OK, I have been searching around on the fourm for over an hour now...I give up. If this is some where else, I am sorry.

I have a database of maintenance data. There are several columns that are usually filled in, some records have some columns blank. They are formated text because they hold letters and numbers (see pic).

I am using a form to query the table...no problem. The form has text boxes the user filter down the data

The problem comes are with the results of the query. Any record that has a blank column is not retuned. I am using "Like" so that the user can enter in partial codes. I know "like" won't return "null" records.... Help!

Things I have tried:
1)IIF(form field is blank, return table field, else use like command to filter) - returns nothing!
2)Like "*" & [Forms]![Fleetwide_data_Request]![MAL_CD] & "*" returns all records without blanks (i.e. missing data)

what else can I do?


Thanks

Queries :: How To Trigger By Date To Create A New Entry In Database Based On Old Entry

Aug 6, 2014

I have a database that makes use of standing orders. That means that if a client has a standing order to receive products during for example 4 time as year (quartely at the end of the month). to automate the new entry by copying an old entry in the database.

Let's say I have a client where we will have to send a product at the end of June, it will look at a field where the next send date is, and when it reaches 2 weeks for that date, to create a new entry in the database based on that entry. This way, it will pop-up in our open cases and we are aware of it and also will be visible in our report.

Blank New Form Is No Longer Blank?

Apr 11, 2006

Hi guys,

I have been running the same database on numerous systems for 5 years and the user clicks on a button and using this code;

DoCmd.OpenForm "Employee", acNormal

Simple !, this always opened this form blank, without applying filters, ready to accept a new employees details.

But now this no longer works, for no apparent reason?
What happens is that it opens with the form fields filled with the first person in the Databases details instead of being blank.

The only thing that could have changed is that i converted the database to 2003?

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance
