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!

I'm looking for a code that close my databse when a user is unactive for a set time.
I've search the forums but nothing workked for me
Is there someone who already have a code for this or maybe can help me?
thanks in advance
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
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 report that is linked to a form's List Box. Users can select Product A, Product B, Product C, etc. on the form, and the report will populate with data for the corresponding product.
I'd like to export each version of the report to Excel automatically, and I'm trying to figure out how to use VBA to enter the parameters. Is there a way to cycle through each value in the listbox?
Here's my code so far.
Code:
Sub ExportReport()
Dim ctr As String
Dim BillingTemp As String
Dim qryBilled As DAO.QueryDef
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Set dbs = CurrentDb
[Code] ....
I'm in the middle of writing a multi-language procedure, and in order to populate the label database I would like to cycle all forms (regardless of whether they're open or closed) and cycle all controls within the forms.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am entering data into 2 tables using the same form, the PK of the first table cannot be entered in the second table unless it exists on the first table. The problem is that the first table does not update the data entered before the second table looks for the PK in the first table.
I wonder if it's possible to make the form update its source table while the form is still opened and no records have been cycled?
Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.

I need a formula to calculate date cycles.
Each person have an employment date on which a 3 year cycle is based.
So at the end of their 3 years the cycle needs to update to the next 3 year cycle.
For example
Person Employment date Cycle Start
1 01 Jan 2015 01 Jan 2015
2 01 Jan 2006 01 Jan 2012
In the case of Person 2 above the cycle would have started at 2006 - 2009 and then moved to 2009 - 2012 and then 2012 - 2015 and now 2015 - 2018
I have the following formula at the moment but need to make 100% I'm not missing something.
Also - would it be fine to run the update query each time for all persons or must it be only for the ones where the current date does not fall within the current 3 year cycle?
CycleStart = DateAdd("yyyy",Int(DateDiff("d",[EmpDate],Date())/365/3)*3,[EmpDate])
Would value your input on another way to do this as well.
I have code that I want to cycle through several fields and check instead of coding for each individual field. I thought this might worked on an earlier project but Im lost. When I try to add my code in the "If MyControls Then", I want it to hide the field on a report if it is blank. It doesnt allow me to do MyControls.Visible.
Code:
If Len(Reports!RecallReport!QAW1 & vbnullsting) = 0 Then
Reports!RecallReport!QAW1.Visible = False
End If
but I want the below code to go through each field With QAW in it and hide it if it is blank.Or having it go through each field individual. There are 10 Fields With QAW THen there are another 10 fiels with ShipDist. I would prefer a simple solution to check all at once.
Code:
Dim MyControls As Control
For Each MyControls In Me.Controls ' Iterate through each element.
If InStr(1, MyControls.Name, "QAW") Then
If MyControls Then
End If
End If
Next
I don't even know if I am on the right track or what.
In query:
I set the input parameters:
enter: [Please enter the value:]
After running, it shows "Please enter the value:"
This one I know
How can I make 2 lines showing
"Please enter the value:
eg. 0506:
enter: [Please enter the value: & vbcrlf & eg. 0506:]
It doesn't work.
Please let me know about it. Thanks.
i have a report that opens from a query that pulls from 8 different tables using the date as the primary key for each table. I want to be able to open my query without having to input a blank record for each date in each table. Basically I don't use every table everyday. Sometimes I just use 3-4 tables and others I will use all 8.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a report that is set up to count students in a class. Looks like this:
# Student Cert #
1 John Smith 12340
2 Joe Jones 12341
3 VOID 12342
4 James Adams 12343
5 Tom Arnold 12344
I want it to do this:
# Student Cert #
1 John Smith 12340
2 Joe Jones 12341
VOID 12342
3 James Adams 12343
4 Tom Arnold 12344
The row number is just a text box (=1) with the running sum turned on.
On this report I have to report all the certificates used for this class, in order. So I can't put the voided ones at the bottom.
I tried an IIF statement in the text box =iif([student]="VOID", "", 1)
This skips the VOIDs but starts over at 1 (no matter if it is set to "over group" or "over all"):
# Student Cert #
1 John Smith 12340
2 Joe Jones 12341
VOID 12342
1 James Adams 12343

Hello Administrator, contributors, experts and friends!
I am excited to join this blog for the very first time. I am new to MS Access but learning every day and doing very well. I am in process of buiding an Issues list and because of that you will see lot of me with tons of questions. First most, I will search this forum to find the answer otherwise I will be posting questions. Thanks for the opportunity to participate in this forum.
I run a query that I export out to a tab delimited file. This text file is used for another application. The problem I am having is if I select "skip field" in my text "export specification" it still exports out that piece of data, even though I have selected "Skip Field". The data type on this field is a number and field size is integer.
I thought I read in another access newsgroup that this is a known bug? Is that true? Is there a fix? I am anxious to fix this because, I have 90 query's that I export to text and I would hate to have to go to each query and select "Not Show" that field.
Help?
Hello,
I want to copy data from one table to another:
INSERT INTO Table1 (codeid) SELECT codeid FROM Table2 WHERE a=7
it works, but the problem occurs when diplicate entries occur in codeid of Table1 (because is is set to No Duplicates).
As a result no rows are inserted. It's OK, cause that's the way it should be, but I was wondering if there is a way to tell MS Access to skip insertion of values that will cause duplication. So the rows that are ok will be inserted and the ones that cause duplicates will be skipped.
I just don't want to go through the loop and insert row-by-row.
Thank you.
Currently, I have a button on my form that users can click on to generate a report based on the info from the form. Once the report has opened, they publish the form with MS Word for further edit if needed.
How do I set up the button so that it opens the report then automatically publishes the report with MS Word?
I have a form which displays the values of a table Vehicles. It has a control at the bottom of the form that allows you to toggle through the records, or enter a specific number of a record for it to jump to. It starts at 1.
I want it to skip the first 3 records in the table, and start at number 4. Is there a simple way to do that?
Hi im trying to see if there is a way to put a timer in tab pages. so that when the time expires it changes to another tab. I have it working fine with the command button. I have like 20 tabs all hidden until the user clicks the cmd. Now is there a way to put a timer? I know that i can do it with the Form_timer, but that dont seem to work with tabs.
thanx
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.
Hi guys, im looking to incorporate a timer function into my database.
Basically at the moment students can takes test in the 'quiz' form - id like a function that starts a timer once its opened, and then display the time taken in a message box when the test is finished.
Any ideas on how i should go about this would be much appreciated,
Ross
