SetValue Macro
Sep 15, 2004
Ok. I have a database which tracks the sales and wherabouts of my artwork. Mostly I sell works on a sale or return basis, so I have a form which finds the delivery and opens the delivery details in a subform. This way I can tick off individual items in the delivery as they sell.
I also sell things outright. However, when I am paid for these sales, I want to be able to tick a 'sold' check box in the main form which then automatically fills in the date sold field (on both form an table) as the current date for all the items in that delivery, i.e. I want to tick the box once in the form causing the date to be entered into each record in the subform automatically.
I have tried making a command button on the form with a SetValue macro. I cannot get this to work with a date (maybe I have got the expression wrong) and also it only works with the first record on the subform.
Can anyone solve my problem or do I just have to be patient and enter each date individually?

Hello all,
I am currently using the SetValue function from within a macro to set the value of one text box to the value of another. It works fine under full version but when I use it under Runtime which is where the final application will be run from, it brings up the Halt box and will not continue the macro.
Does anyone know what can/cannot be done within Runtime. Is it just the same as A full version but without Design functions or are some other functions removed. I am painstakingly having to go through all the vba code that I wrote in full version and I am having to change so many things in order for it to work with Runtime. This is a real pain the backside!
Any thoughts would be huuuugely appreciated.
Thanks all!
Gareth

I am building a purchase requisition (PR) database.
The tables are (simplified) as follows:
Table1 - tbl_PRList - contains only 3 fields with one of these fields being the "PR No".
Table2 - tbl_PRData - contains all the item data, also with a field "PR No".
The intent of the "item entry" form is to add items to the latest PR that has been generated.
So, whenever an item that is to be placed on the new PR, you type in the item description, qty, etc in the form and then you press a button that saves this item to the main 'data' table (Table1). What I would like to do is, "on click" of this button, I'd like this record, prior to it moving to the next record, to set the value of the PR No field in Table 1 to be the same as the DLast value of the Table2 table.

Is there a way to increase the maximum characters allowed in an expression of a macro setvalue action ?
I have an expression in a macro setvalue action that adds multiple form textbox values. I need to change the form name from "RATING ENGINE 2" to "E RATING ENGINE 2". When I do this, I exceed the maximum characters allowed in the expression. Is there a way I can rename "RATING ENGINE 2" without this problem. The expression is as follows:
[Forms]![RATING ENGINE 2]![Excess Liab Premium 6]+[Forms]![RATING ENGINE 2]![Excess Liab Premium 7]+[Forms]![RATING ENGINE 2]![Excess Liab Premium 8]+[Forms]![RATING ENGINE 2]![Excess Liab Premium 9]+[Forms]![RATING ENGINE 2]![Excess Liab Premium 10]

I've linked my inventory database to a table that holds data for my web site. Using a macro I can transfer the data in several field at the click of a button. I've run into a problem with one field called [SizeW] in my inventory and [width] in the web site db. [sizeW]is in meters and [width] needs to be in centimeters so I made my macro expression [sizeW]*100. The trouble is I get an incorrect result. 0.87 becomes 87.0000004768372 and so on. I have tried setting the format in the web site db to General Number and 0 decimals but this doesn't work. I can't think of anything that could be the cause.
Any possibility this could be caused by a naming issue? I think 'width' might be a reserved terem for access.

I'm trying to create a database that we can use to track Vacation, Sick, and Personal days. It's a very simple setup, for each option I have a start value a place to enter the amount used and and expression field that calculates the time remaining.
My query calculates the difference (Expr1: timelosstbl!SickBeg-Timelosstbl!SickAccUsed)
but this value isn't stored, since it runs everytime the query is run. So I have another field that (SickTotal). I have a button that on click it runs a macro and I use the SetValue action and it takes the value in the expr1: field and copies it to the SickTotal field. I have another button that on click runs basically the same macro that copies the value in the SickTotal field to the SickBeg field. My problem is that when I click the button everyting works but I doesn't remove the figure that was manually entered in the SickAccUsed field. So what I thought I needed to do was instead of using a macro to run the procedure I'd do it as an event procedure but I don't know how to recreate the macro because when I do either me. or docmd. setvalue isn't an option.
So basically what I need is
A=starting figure, B=manually enter hours used, C=remaining time, D=stored value for C
A - B = C, C = D on click make A = D and clear B
Confused?
Thanks,
Rick

I have two Combo boxes which work as selection boxes for the detail form. So, if one Combo box selects Name - the detail form is filled with the information belonging to that Name...
However, I have two combo search boxes: one for Name and one for Clientnumber. They both work fine, but I would like to reset the first combo box if the other one is used and vice versa.
So, basically, my question is: how do I reset a combo box in a AfterUpdate (right?) event of another combo box?

I have set up a form to use for entering and specifying report criteria. I followed the instructions from general Access help. Everything worked fine in MS Access 2000. Now, I've transferred the database to a computer using MS Access 2003 and I get and error that says, "You entered an expression that has an invalid reference to the property Visible. The property may not exist or not apply to the object you specified." If I change the Macro for the "OK" button from Action="SetValue", Item="[Visible]", and Expression="No" to Action="SetValue", Item="[Forms]![frmParameterQuery].[Visible]", and Expression="False", which I though may be the correct way to enter this for the newer 2003 version of Access, then I get a different error message that reads, "You don't have the license required to use this ActiveX control. You tried to open a form containing an OLE Object or an ActiveX control or you tried to create an ActiveX control. To obtain the appropriate license, contact the company that provides the licensed OLE Object or ActiveX control" Please help!

I am having issues with the SetValue macro. Basically, my database is for HR and uses a series of forms to enter a new hire, and to export this new hire to excel for a data upload. The weird thing is that it worked before, then all of a sudden, it gave me error 2950 while trying to run a macro which had a few SetValue functions.
I went to another form to see if that one worked w/ SetValue (because the database is trusted in my system), and it did. So my problem is that I'm receiving error 2950 (trust issues) in one form, but not receiving the same error, from the same function, on another form.

I have a main form FrmQuote that has 2 Subforms. The 2nd subform FrmCalculateQuote is based on a calculation query. In order to save a calculated value I have another Table/Form (FrmSCQuoteOverviewUpdate) that records the quote value calculated in the subform FrmCalculateQuote (text34)
The following forms are open FrmQuote FrmSCQuoteOverviewUpdate and subform FrmCalculatequote.
In the subform FrmCalculatequote I have created a button click event that should set the value of [tot contract cost] in FrmSCQuoteOverviewUpdate
to text34 in the subform
Forms!FrmSCquoteoverviewUpdate![tot contract cost] = forms!Frmcalculatequote![text34]
when runnng the code I get the error message "run time error 2450..can't find the form FrmCalculatequote.."
It seems that the problem is in calling the subform just forms!....
Can somebody please help me with the code to refer to a subform.. :confused:

Is it possible to use the SetValue macro action to set field criteria in a query? I've done this in the past by creating a form, using SetValue to set a value for a form field, then having the field in the query read from the form field.I noticed in the expression builder under the SetValue action that it allows you to select query fields directly though.

I'm using A2003 (yes, still). An accounting type form requires the "Type" be entered as either (numeric) 1, 11, or 2. On the same form, one of the three Yes/No fields must be checked as confirmation.
My hope is that I can use the "SetValue" action in a macro.
My first attempt (to set the "Assiniboine" field to "Yes" or "On"):
Item: [Forms]![DisbursementMade]![Assiniboine]
Expression: IIf([Forms]![DisbursementMade]![Type].[AfterUpdate]=1,Yes)
That isn't doing anything for me.
The default value for the "Type" field would normally be 1 (but that presumes the user will not skip past it without confirming it) so I have no default value.
The other two Yes/No fields would also be Set by the same logic: (if Type=11, [Bank]=Yes) (if Type=2, [PettyCash]=Yes)
Alternatively, I've tried the reverse approach: If [Assiniboine]=Yes, SetValue of [Type] to 1 so far without success. I'm not using VBA, since the bookkeeper changes from year to year and there is no Administrator. Although the computer has A2010, and can run an .mdb file with macros, successfully, making changes within A2010 produces an 'embedded macro' that isn't readable in A2003.

I am trying to write a more complex macro that will start another macro at a preset time, however I am getting stopped at the first hurdle - getting a macro to run another macro.
Here is the code i am using at the moment, all I want to do currently is click the first button, then get the second macro to execute. But no luck, getting error 2157 "cannot find the procedure"
Code:
Private Sub Command3_Click()
MsgBox "1st macro running", vbExclamation, "Note"
Application.Run "teststart1"
' Application.OnTime TimeValue("19:55:00"), "teststart1"
[code]....

I don't know, I have noticed that the SETVALUE argument is not openly available in the lookup tables when setting a macro. (But that aside) I have set my drives c: and d: as trusted, and also thicked the sub folder option.

Hi.
I have a macro (that runs a bat file) that I would like to run for the first time ,and only the first time that a form is run. The bat file will then copy over certain files the db needs.
Is this possible?
Thanks.

I have a database and in order to get the correct values you need to run a few queries/make tables/delete tables ect. I was wondering if there was a way to code something so that on command click button it would run through all the neccessary steps so people dont have to manually do this.

Hi,
Here's a sample of the database that I'm working on. I'm trying to help teachers take attendance of all of their students and so have the following tables.
tblAdmin - List of Teachers and their IDs
tblAttendance - Courses, Student IDs, the Date and the Status (tardy, etc..)
tblCourseInfo - List of Courses and the Teachers teaching the course
tblEnrollment - List of the Courses and the students enrolled in them
tblStudents - Student IDs and their names
The form that I want is a "Course Information Form" that will
(1) Display all the students enrolled in their course
(2) Allow the teachers to take attendance everyday while keeping all the previous records
I've attached my sample database. I really appreciate ANY help any of you can suggest.
Thanks :)

I am running a Macro that is running 3 query and saving inbetween each query.
My issue is that when the macro runs I have to hit ok when the message boxes pop up saying "its about the run a Query" and then again when it says "your about to update the records". These two messages occur for each query and save. So I have to hit OK 6 times
Is there a way I can set the macro to NOT show these message boxes?
THanks in Advance

Hi all,
I usually search for the answers to my problems, but as im not sure what the problem is i havnt been able to do so here.
Basically i have a pretty simple database, it works fine in the UK. The company i have designed it for are moving to Budapest, i have just had an email this morning saying an error message pops up when the try using a form, i have attached the message. The macro just runs a query based on a table in the database asking the users to choose a record number edit. Im assuming it must be something to do with is being used in Budapest as it works fine here, but they are accessing it the same as they would do here, just from a different location.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks

I use an autokeys macro to allow users to openforms with a hotkey directly without going through the menu system.
I would like the users to be able to modify their own setttings for this, but I could not find a way of writing to the macro autokey table.
Anyone know of a way?

Hi,
Task: to extract data from table 1 of a database (tied to form 1) to create a record in another table 2 of the same database (tied to form 2).
Besides, I need to make it simple to use for an end user.
On the form 2 I have a command button that activates macro. Macro makes a query to run and extract data from table 1 and append a table 2.
Now I want the user to see the record on the screen (form 2) that has just been created. For that purpose I add "go to last record" step in the macro.
Problem: that doesn't work. :) For some reason it brings back same record from the middle of the table which is not the last. And what is even more interesting is that it doesn't tie to the record ID on the bottom of the screen (access generated).
Challenge: the record ID field in the table 2 is a primary key auto-numbered field (i know this is not perfect but I am not the one who created the database) and some records have been deleted over time. Might that be connected to that or that is something else?
Thank you!!

I hope you might be able to help.
I've managed to successfully setup my first Access database.
I have imported data from Microsoft Excel into an Access Database and Table within that (EmptyHomesTable).
The data relates to empty properties and every month at work we receive a list of empty homes in the month. Every month, this new data will be imported into a TemporaryImportTable.
I am then running an update query to compare the data in the EmptyHomesTable with TemporaryImportTable and 'close' those which are no longer empty (i.e. update their status in the EmptyHomesTable if the account reference number doesn’t match).
I am then running an append query to compare the data in the EmptyHomesTable with the TemporaryImportTable and add any new empty properties (i.e. add those which aren’t in the EmptyHomesTable by looking at the account reference numbers and adding them if they don’t match).
This gives us a working database of empty properties but doesn't delete those which are no longer empty (rather they are marked as closed).
What I'm trying to do is to run a Macro to automate all of this on a monthly basis.
Macro is as follows:
1. Delete Query to delete the data in the TemporaryImportTable but keep the table structure;
2. TransferSpreadsheet to import the latest Microsoft Excel file into TemporaryImportTable;
3. Update Query to close properties which are no longer empty in EmptyHomesTable;
4. Append Query to import those new empty properties in EmptyHomesTable;
The macro almost runs fine but I have a couple of questions to help finish it:
a).I’ve run the macro to update the February list to the January list which works fine. Running the macro to update the January and February list (combined) is almost fine but I’m 2 entries out. I can’t manually check as we’re talking about 1,500 entries. Is there another way?
b). Is there any way for the TransferSpreadsheet query to ask at each time of running the macro for the location of the Excel spreadsheet or do I need to go into the macro every time and change the file location?
c). One of the fields in the table is empty date (i.e. the date the property became empty). Is there a quick way to filter the entries before a certain date (i.e. only show those empty before 30 September 2007 for example)?
Thanks for your help.
