Simple (?) Timer Event Problem
May 24, 2005
I created a form to list the number of customers in my lobby. In the Form Footer I placed a field to count the number of customers waiting (Name: CC1, Control Source: =Count([LName]). Works fine.
I want a Beep on the form if the customers exeed 5. I placed the following code in the Timer event but I cannot get the event to work. I believe it has something to do with the field name but I'm unsure. Any help would be appreciated.
Private Sub Form_Timer()
Requery
If [CC1] >= 5 Then
Beep
Else
End If
End Sub

My form is always open and runs a timer event which runs a series of functions and procedures. I don't want to run a certain procedure on every timer cycle, but rather, every other timer cycle.
Any thoughts on how best to accomplish this. I'm having a mental block!

Got a problem here:
Timer Interval = 5 Seconds
Private Sub Form_Timer()
My code here..
End Sub
The code repeats every 5 seconds, what I want to do is to execute it only once.

I've taken a break from Access for a while, but I'm back at it again and having some difficulty. I am trying to open a form with a timer to state that the database is going to shut down in five minutes if they don't respond. I'm obviously using the wrong code. I've been trying to use the following:
Private Sub Form_Timer()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmWarning"
If Forms!frmHidden!chkActive Then
Forms!frmHidden!chkActive = False
Me.TimerInterval = 300000
Else
DoCmd.Quit
End If
End Sub
It crashes on the 'DoCmd.OpenForm "frmWarning"'

I have a form (MS Access 2003) that has a button that when pressed, assigns the current time to field [Time1] using
Code:
Me.Time1 = Now()
I have another field [Time2] that adds 15 minutes to [Time1] using the following in the Control Source field
Code:
=DateAdd("n",15,[Time1])
I was wanting to use these to force a message box when the system time reached Time2 and tried the following code on the Form ON TIMER event (Interval at 1000 ms) but it does not work.
Code:
If Time() > Me.Time2 then
MSGBox "Time to show message"
End if
I tried putting in a manual time in the VBA such as:
Code:
If Time() > #2:05:00 PM#
MSGBox "Time to show message"
End if
which worked. So, I am guessing there is something with my orignal code using Me.Time2 that is causing the problem.

I need a query run that brings up a list of customers that need maintence after 6 months after their last maintence service. As soon as you open the DB, the event/query runs and if there are any customers past due to display them. And if there are none, to not even show the query at all.
I have very little experience with timers and if/then statements and don't know how to set this up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I use a timer based event that shuts down the frontends after some idle time.
1. How to disable the timer as it causes some weird bahaviours while editing the code? is shuting down the hidden form enough?
2. Is there a way to add regular maintenance intervals, i.e. every wednesday at 20.00.? how?

I have Access 2010 and have made a small system that creates a table as a result of an query based on linked tables. The result is approximately 40 records that are grouped in 4 different priorities where each record has a status of green, yellow or red.
By using the timer event I want to loop through 6 different forms starting with the overall view and herafter priority 1 form, priority 2 form and so on. When the last form has been displayed start over again. Loop for ever until stop button has been pushed on the first form.
The timer is set to 15000 on each form, when I open a form the first thing that happens is that I close the previous open form.
After the system has looped 4 times it gets "SYSTEM RESOURCE EXCEEDED".
I have used 3 days on the internet to try to get a solution on my problem with no luck. I have got so far that it must be something with the timer function. Since if I run it manually (open form, close previously, open next form etc) then no issues.
I have the latest service pack for access 2010.

I have tried using a timer event to not show a form until it is fully loaded, to no avail.
Code:
If CurrentProject.AllForms("FONNewEdit").IsLoaded = True Then
Me.Visible = True
Me.TimerInterval = 0
End If
I have tried using the onload, onopen but the form still displays before being fully loaded.

I have a form with a test list. Each test is a record with a yes/no checkbox, and controls for testdate and examiner. I don't want the user to be able to exit a record if the yes box is checked and either the testdate or examiner fields are blank. The code I am using is:
If IsNull(Me.Examiner) And Me.SelectTest = Yes Or IsNull(Me.TestDate) And Me.SelectTest = Yes Then
MsgBox "You must enter an examiner and a test date for each test you select.", vbCritical + vbOKOnly + vbDefaultButton1, "Missing Data"
Me.Examiner.SetFocus
Cancel = True
Else
Cancel = False
End If
I am having trouble with which event should be used with the code, however. In both before and after update I have had the following problem. If a user accidentally checks the wrong test and then unchecks it, they still get the message as if the box were still checked yes. Can anyone tell me why and how to avoid that?
Thanks in advance,
Carly

I’m not sure if this is going to be more of a VBA question but at the moment for me it’s a form thing.
Is there any way i can have a form automatically close and load a different form after an amount of time since it was loaded has passed.
I have a form and i want it to lose after 30 seconds of opening and load the next form.
I’ve had a search around access help but that really wasn’t too successful and I found nothing like it on these forums.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Crisp.

I wrote the following simple code in a form's event procedures, in order to create a splash screen for my application. The form remains open all the time, I meant it to close after cnt>10. I checked with message boxes and it seems that cnt never increases to more than 1. Any ideas why ?
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim cnt As Integer
Me.TimerInterval = 1000 'timer interval 1 second
cnt = 0
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Timer()
Dim cnt As Integer
cnt = cnt + 1
If cnt > 10 Then
Me.TimerInterval = 0
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name 'here I want the form to close
End If
End Sub
Where can one find what terms such as acForm, Me.Name, acPreview etc mean ?

Hi
I' am trying to make a form which executes a macro in every minute. I have put the Timer Interval to 60000ms. But now the form executes the macro only once and I want that macro will be executed always after one minute. So how I can make this work? Do I have to make somekind of loop in code or what?

I have created a countdown counter on a form using different Datediff's so to split the renaining time into days, hours, minutes and seconds.
The Datediff compares Now() to a text box called txt.Leaving which has a date/time unputted via a table (Format: General Date)
However the seconds and minutes work ok but the hours and days dont count down inline with the minutes and seconds reducing. The hours do alter when the minutes are 13 mins into the new hour. This would seem to point possibly to rounding off but I would expect that further into the hour.
Below is the Datediff that is set as the control source in a text box and the form it sits on has its timer set to 1000 and the event requeries the text box.
=DateDiff("d",Now(),[txt.Leaving]) & "d, " & DateDiff("h",Now(),[txt.Leaving]) Mod 24 & "h, " & DateDiff("n",Now(),[txt.Leaving]) Mod 60 & "m, " & DateDiff("s",Now(),[txt.Leaving]) Mod 60 & "s"
Using Access 2000.

How to insert a timer in the PropertyFrm Form in the Access Database attached to this message. When a user opens the PropertyFrm form I want the timer to record the number of hours, minutes, and seconds each user spend time on a record including the current dateand have the data stored in the Timer table.
When a user goes to another record, I want the timer to reset and store the hours, minutes, seconds, and current date on another record in the Timer Table and so on. If the fields and data types in the Timer table is not created properly.
I do not want the time and current date to be displayed on the PropertyFrm Form. I want the information to be stored in the Timer table.I do not want the user to see the hours, minutes, seconds and current date information on thePropertyFrm Form.

I have a Form opening from Access Options. I would like to close this Form using the Timer. The following is the code I have used but it is not working.
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Load()
OpenTimer = Timer
End Sub
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Timer()
If (Timer - OpenTime) = 5 Then DoCmd.Close acForm, "Cover_Page_Form", acSaveYes
End Sub
Next question. If I can get this to work can I then use a DoCmd to open new Form within the code above or do I need a new process.

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?
