Simple Code Question
Oct 11, 2004
Just arrived here, so I hope this question is in the correct forum.
Here is my question
I have one field called ContractType, another field called Contract Description.
What I like to do is if ContractType = CO and Contract Description, DO NOT HAVE TEXT IN THE Contract Description field, flash the Contract Description field. How do I identify if there is text fill out in the Const_Description field?
This is what I have so far:
Private Sub Form_Timer()
If Me.ContractType = "CO" Then
Me.Const_Description.Visible = True
Else
Me.Const_Description.Visible = Not Me.Const_Description.Visible
End If
End Sub
I hope I made this easy to understand. Very new at Code.
Thanks
Joe

Works great, but when I hit the number "3", (3 times in row) it will let me into the form. I want it to not let me in IF I don't know the password.
Where did I go wrong?
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim pw As Variant
If InputBox("What is the password?", "Password") = "1" Then
Else
MsgBox "Invalid Password", vbCritical, "Sorry Charlie"
DoCmd.Close
If InputBox("What is the password?", "Password") = "2" Then
Else
MsgBox "Invalid Password", vbCritical, "Sorry Charlie"
DoCmd.Close
End If
End If
End Sub

I am checking to see if a memo field and/or a text field has more than 1000 characters and if so then it calls a function that prints legal size paper vs. 8 X 11. It works fine except when the either field is empty. I have searched and searched the Forum and found many that are close but no cigar!
I know this involves a "IsNull" routine and I know I need to check both fields but can't quite come up with the right syntax. Right now if either field is empty I get an error msg = "Invalid use of Null"
Could someone please help?! Thanks in advance once again!
This is the basic code after setting the focus,etc....
If Len(strMsg) > 1000 Then
cmdOpenLegPrnt_Click
Exit Sub
End If

So far I have a query that picks up any collisions between booking dates with the following:
SELECT [Customer Details].[CustomerID], [Booking].[RoomNumber], [Booking].[DateFrom], [Booking].[DateTo]
FROM [Room Details] INNER JOIN ([Customer Details] INNER JOIN Booking ON [Customer Details].[CustomerID]=[Booking].[CustomerID]) ON [Room Details].[RoomNo]=[Booking].[RoomNumber]
WHERE DateFrom Or DateTo Between [Forms]![Bookings]![DateFrom] And [Forms]![Bookings]![DateTo] And ([BookingID]<>[Forms]![Bookings]![text38]) And (RoomNumber=[Forms]![Bookings]!RoomNumber)
ORDER BY [DateFrom] And [DateTo];
But the problem is that it doesn't pick up dates inbetween DateTo and DateFrom. So:
Booking 1
12/12/06
20/12/06
Booking 2
13/12/06
19/12/06
On trying to book Booking 2 it will not notify me of 'no clashes' when there are. As it isn't passing by the 12th or 20th my SQL doesn't pick it up.
Can anybody help me? I'm new to code so I'm probably missing the obvious but all help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Luke

Hi,
I have a database with 8 tables. One of these being staff
I have staffID as a Primary key in the table staff
The format of this is "STA"0000
and input mask "STA"9999
I would like staffID to be automatically generated by taking the value of the previous staffID (eg STA0001) and creating a new staffID for the next member of staff that is to be added (eg, STA0002).
I have access experience but have never had to use SQL code and am struggling. If anyone could be kind enough to help me with this I would be very grateful.
Thank You
Nicholas

I got this to work easily on another form but on this particular form it doesnt work. I enter a command button and name it d1, then I enter this code for it to populate the current date in the field next to the box:
Private Sub d1_Click()
Date_Entered.Value = Date
End Sub
Can anyone see why it doesnt work :eek:
ERROR IS:
Run-time error '2465':
Database cant find the field 'Date' referred to in your expression.
When I enter a date field it enders whats in that field (blank) into the field I told it (Date_Entered) on my form.

Form: frmProduct
Field: unitprice.
I have some simple validation that unit price is greater than 0. The code is this:
If Me.txtUnitPrice.Value <= 0 Then
MsgBox "Please enter a value greater than zero", vbOKOnly, "Alert"
Me.txtUnitPrice.Value = Null
Me.txtUnitPrice.SetFocus
End If
However, when I run it, the setfocus doesn't work. It jumps straight into the next field. I can make it run to any other field (productname, productID). But not back to UnitPrice.

I found this simple password code that I use to open some forms:
Code:Dim x As Stringx = "password"Dim y As Stringy = InputBox("Enter password for form")If x <> y ThenMsgBox ("Invalid password")DoCmd.CancelEventEnd If
I would like to use it in a switchboard button, but the following statement is
OnClick already "=HandleButtonClick(4)". How can I incorporate this statement
with the code?
(I guess I don't really understanding how the auto-switchboard works.)
As always...Thank You

hiya every1, (access 2k3)
quick easy question, as im a noob when it comes to coding/vb.
Within our company database we have the usual timesheet table. With the table I have create a query (called "dailytimeforkeith") that gives me the sum of time for an individual person for one day (in fact its the previous day). What I have done then is created a form (called "keithyesterdaytime") that shows this query entry (called "sumoftimespent").
Each user has a different database screen logon and forms that are present when they log in. So what I then done is on one of these forms the load up, i attached this:
Private Sub Employee_Enter()
Me.Employee = User.FirstName
If Me.Employee = "Keith" Then
Dim stdocname As String
stdocname = "keithyesterdaytime"
DoCmd.OpenForm stdocname, , , acAdd
............
then on "keithyesterdaytime" opening the following code runs
------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim internal1 As Integer
internal1 = Forms!keithyesterdaytime.SumOfTimeSpent
If internal1 < 6 Then
DoCmd.Close
MsgBox " Less than 6 hours have been entered " & Chr(13) & " into your timesheet for yesterday. ", vbCritical, Title1
Else
DoCmd.Close
End If
End Sub
-------------------------------------------------------
Whenever i logon with the user keith, i get the following error 'runtime error 2427: You entered an expression that has no value.
If I open the form "keithyesterdaytime" on its own, the code works and i dont get an error.
What have i done wrong, and be gently. HEHEHE. Also is there any easy way i can do this instead of having to create the the form "keithyesterdaytime"

Ok I am right now making a simple Vendor/Product database to create a line sheet for some sales folks. I have 3 tables: Vendors, Products, and an associate entity Vendors_Products to relate the two. I have a form currently that draws the Vendor Name (primary key) from the Vendor table and the Product Name from the associate entity. This allows me to create new vendors and select current product types from a drop down box. The problem is that the drop down box is too long and it is tiresome when 1 vendor has 10 product types.
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this? I thought it would be better to have option buttons and display all available products. Then you could just click all of the option buttons that apply to that Vendor and it would create the relationships...is this possible?

I protect my code from people being able to read it by setting a password on the code from Tools > Properties, selecting the Protection tab and entering a password, and clicking "Lock Project"
Is there a way to write code that will remove that Lock Project check and check it back on?
I've looked through the Application.SetOption command and it doesn't seem to be one of the choices. It would be very helpful if someone knew how to do this.
Thanks

Hi,
I have looked at some of the threads here and it is clear that many of you are working on a much higher level than me and with a high degree of familiarity with the programme.
I am hoping that someone here is able to give me some advice as I don't find the MS help files digestible.
The task I have is to join 2 databases and produce a table from which I can run a mailmerge.
I have managed to join the 2 databases and I used a customer ID as a common link. (my apologies if the terminology is incorrect)
I now have all the data I require in one table.
THE PROBLEMs I have multiple entries for some of my customers and would like to reduce this to single entries (which is understandable). Please tell me how to do this if you can, and keep it as simple as you can please.
In anticipation I thank you very much.
:-)

Not sure what the issue is here but i am trying to append a Job number from a main database into two connected databases.
The number is a sequential number i have created and the primary key.
It is an autonumber field(obviously). The format is J0000 and the numbers start from J0001
I am using two different append queries to append them into the external databases tables.
However (and here i think lies the problem) the fields i am inserting them into are text fields with the same format J0000.
When i view the numbers in these tables, they are displayed as J1 or J9. The 0's are missing.
Any ideas.
Thank you in advance

Hey guys, I'm just wondering how I could limit a field to using from 2 - 20 letters. If I placed the letter "a", I'd get an error saying how at least 2 letters must be there, and a maximum of 20. How would I do this?
Lastly, how can I make it so when I enter data into a form, I can click a button which adds it all into the table?
When I do it normally, it's automatically transferred into the table as I type it into the form.
This is incredibly simple I know, but I am a n00b at Access. ^_^
Thanks guys.

OK, I have a strange problem... This doesn't seem to work..... It did... then I made some changes.... Can someone clue me in on what I am doing wrong? A query, simply summing some values in fields... no biggy...... BUT...
The field
TotalHours: ([SundayHours]+[MondayHours]+[TuesdayHours]+[WednesdayHours]+[ThursdayHours]+[FridayHours]+[SaturdayHours])
So why isn't this working?
Can I use a simple VBA statement to sum these fields?
:confused:

I am trying to create an IN query (ACCESS) which will firstly show the customers table (specific details) then the orders details should be in the IN query, I formulated this but it won't work:
SELECT s.CustomerID, Address, City, PostalCode
FROM Customers s
WHERE
s.OrderID IN
(SELECT s.OrderID FROM Orders p
WHERE s.OrderDate = '1996')
AND
s.OrderID IN
(SELECT s.OrderID FROM Orders p
WHERE s.OrderDate = '1997');
Here is the one I did to show the customers and orders who made orders in 1996 and 97:
SELECT Customers.CustomerID AS Customers_CustomerID, Orders.CustomerID AS Orders_CustomerID, Customers.Address, Customers.City, Customers.PostalCode, Orders.OrderID, Orders.OrderDate
FROM Customers INNER JOIN Orders ON Customers.CustomerID = Orders.CustomerID
WHERE (((Orders.OrderDate) Between #1/1/1996# And #12/31/1997#));
it is probably something simple I am missing here! Sorry to keep asking :(

but I can't seem to figure it out. All I get is Null values when I run the query.
I have a form with a start text box and a end text box. I use the form name sucessfully in the criteria row so I know there is no problem with the form name. I also know there is no problem with the qry name. Does anyone see anything I am doing wrong?!?!
The query I am working in is labeled [qry_old_summary_date_range]. Just wanted to clarify that is not a problem.
1st Pay Increase: IIf([qry_old_summary]![1st Pay Increase]>=[Forms]![Human Resources]![Start] And [qry_old_summary]![1st Pay Increase]<=[Forms]![Human Resources]![End],[qry_old_summary]![1st Pay Increase],Null)

and presumably it's only me who's irgorant.
I have a table with dates of deadlines and another with dates of submissions. For each deadline I want to know who submitted first. I figured that all I had to do was compute the difference between the dates and the select the minimum. However, Access rejects the Min() function in the WHERE clause. How do I avoid this?
Thanks a lot !!

I have a table (imported from excel) that is a pricing grid for blinds. The header row at the top is widths(mm) and the header row down the left is heights(mm). The data is the price. The import process makes the widths the column names.
height 600 800 1200 ...
300 $60 $80 $100
600 $80 $100 $120
900 $120 $140 $160
.
.
all I want to do is to take that table and make it flattened, like this:
height width price
300 600 $60
300 800 $80
300 1200 $100
600 600 $80
600 800 $100
600 1200 $120
900 600 $120
900 800 $140
900 1200 $160
I can't think how to do this in a query - I could take the flat version and create a crosstab to go the other way. Any clues - I don't want to change too much about the way the imported excel file looks becasue I have no control over that (I already discard miscellaneous heading and junk before I import it)
Hope you can help

My Brain has completely lost all of it's gray matter.
I have two tables tbl_Employers and tbl_Services that are linked via a one to many relationship. Each Employer can have Many Services. The field i am useing in the relationship is EmployerID
If I build a simple select query using these tables I will see all of the employers that have a related record in the services table. Any employer could be listed there many times as per the relationship.
What i want is a simple count of how many employers actually have recieved a service.
Why is this so difficult for me to get my head around.
