"The Command Or 'SaveRecord' Action Isn't Available Now"

Mar 7, 2006

Hi Folks,

No hits on a search of this site for this error. I think this is a security or corruption problem.

From the main dialogue form of my database some users get the "The command or 'SaveRecord' Action isn't available now." error when they try to run a report or perform an update. The report is launched by code which includes the SaveRecord command.

Everything operated correctly with the administrator logged in. The users have appropriate permissions to tables etc. However, I made some small modifications to the form and then the report / save would not run for the Administrator either.

Things I have tried to resolve this:


Giving users full permissions - same as adminstrator
Making new database and importing all items
removing security from back end


I also tried half a dozen other things of varying logic and relevance that didn't work either.

Anybody have any idea what is going on / how to procede?

Regards,

Keith.

The Command Or Action ApplyFilterSort Isn't Available Now.

Jun 17, 2005

I have created a search window that looks up certain invoicereport by invoice No. I have used this search method in other forms and has worked successfully!

However,
after I created the same thing for a report, I get this message: The Command or Action 'ApplyFilterSort' isn't available now.

I really don't understand the problem.
txtSearch = a textbox where user can type in any value to lookup a certain report.
rptInvoice = where I want the search to be placed.
fraSearch = an option group with (Starts with...,Contains...,Ends with..., Equals...)
InvoiceNo = the txtField in rptInvoice.

this is what I wrote for the cmdSearch button:

Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdSearch_Click
Dim strFilter As String
Dim strInvoiceno As String

' Check that the report is open
If SysCmd(acSysCmdGetObjectState, acReport, "rptInvoice") <> acObjStateOpen Then
MsgBox "You must open the report first."
Exit Sub
End If
' Build InvoiceNo criteria string
If IsNull(Me.txtSearch.Value) Then
strInvoiceno = "Like '*'"
Else
Select Case Me.fraSearch.Value
Case 1
strInvoiceno = "Like '" & Me.txtSearch.Value & "*'"
Case 2
strInvoiceno = "Like '*" & Me.txtSearch.Value & "*'"
Case 3
strInvoiceno = "Like '*" & Me.txtSearch.Value & "'"
Case 4
strInvoiceno = "= '" & Me.txtSearch.Value & "'"
End Select
End If

' Build filter string
strFilter = "[invoiceNo] " & strInvoiceno

' Apply filter to report
With Reports![rptInvoice]
.Filter = strFilter
.FilterOn = True
End With


DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, 2, , acMenuVer70

Exit_cmdSearch_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_cmdSearch_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdSearch_Click

End Sub
----
Could anyone help me with this?

Forms :: Command Or Action Not Available Now

Jul 11, 2014

I have a form for users to be able to delete or edit records. I have 2 command buttons (Delete and Save), when I click on them I get this error "the command or action is not available now"... It was working fine before but for some reasons it stopped. Even two other buttons actioned by vba codes do not work (No message popping up for these 2)

I checked:
Allow Additions: Yes
Allow Deletions: Yes
Allow Edits: Yes

Nothing is blocked or locked.

I think it has to do with the query my form is based on, as I tried a dummy form based on a table and the button worked fine...? I tried re-creating query+form and no luck. I did remove a field from my query at some point this morning, not sure if this might be the cause of issue, as this field was not connected to anything in my form.

Forms :: Copy Record Button - Command Or Action Isn't Available?

Jan 13, 2014

I've rebooted my copy record button and just used the macro wizard for now, it seems to work as far as I can tell but there is something strange about it.

I've added in some text boxes so I've got some confirmation, but when I click this copy button I get the following error;

"The command or action 'RecordsGoToNew' isn't available now."

SaveRecord Isn't Available Error

Aug 25, 2005

I have a form with a 'Save' button. To keep certain users from editing the form, I've disabled the edit, add, and delete functions of the form based on the user's security level. When a user with a low security level opens the form, a message box pops-up that says "SaveRecord isn't available now....". It's good that the 'Save' isn't available since I don't want them to be able to change the record but I don't want the error message to come up. Is there a way I can stop this message from appearing? The form still opens after the user hit's 'OK' in the message box but I don't want them to have to do this.

I am rewriting an old Access 2003 database in Access 2010. When creating new command buttons, the current theme gives them a default appearance. I need to apply this appearance to old command buttons. I know there is a way to select the default button and apply its properties to others quickly. I have done it before but didn't write the process down .

SetValue Action Help!

Aug 16, 2004

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!

Undo One Action Only

Aug 17, 2011

I have a form that has multiple text boxes. Was trying to add an Undo button that behaves exactly the same as the (Ctrl+Z) or the undo button used in microsoft access, word, excel ..etc. as it only undos one action in a click. When added the undo button i used just a normal button and added a code to it. if i type in different text boxes and press on the undo button it undos everything modified since the form was opened. Is there a way to change that ?

Form Not Saving From VB Action

Sep 5, 2006

Hi,

On my Form I have a Label (Recnote) which gets changed by the VB code if criterior is true. My form does change this correctly however, once I quit (or close the Form) and come back, the changes dissappear.

But the strange thing is that every now and then it does save it.

Any ideas??? Any other command I should use?

The following works as it disables my Import button and changes the Label contents but does not save when exited


Private Sub CloseME_Click()
DoCmd.Requery

If [CountOfOracle Co] = 0 Then
MsgBox "Cannot Close ME Yet", vbOKOnly, "Circular Rec"
Else


Me.Recnote.BackColor = 65535
Me.Recnote.Caption = "Final Reconciliation"
Me.Recnote.ForeColor = 32768
Me.Import.Enabled = False
DoCmd.RepaintObject
DoCmd.Save
End If

End Sub

General :: Repeat Same Action But For Different Row?

Mar 27, 2013

I have an Access Form called Database_Form, with a text box called Text22, and a button called Command42.

I also have a table, and query, as following:

Table 1, as in the below example:

Row_Number as Column header, and values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, as rows.

Column1 as Column header, and values 0026007101, 0026007102, 0026007103, 0026007104, 0026007105, as rows.

Query 2, which has the criteria [Forms]![Database_Form]![Text22] for Row_Number Field.

Basically, i want that each time when i press the button Command42 and having the text box filled with value 1 (for row number 1), to repeat this step, but taking the next row_number and so on, until it finishes the last row.

The Query 2, should sequentially select the row number given in the text box, based on a VBA Code or something.

Is there any VBA code in order to achieve this ?

Confirm Action Queries In Runtime

Mar 3, 2008

I use the Access 2007 runtime to run my Access database on a few client machines. How do I turn off the confirmation of Action Queries? On clients that are also running MS Access, I can simply open Access, go to Access Options and uncheck the box. When I make this change in Access, the same settings apply for the Runtime on that computer. Which makes me think perhaps there is a registry entry I can modify someplace? If anyone has an idea as to how to turn this off for the runtime please let me know.

Thanks!
