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.

Error '2118' You Must Save The Current Field Before You Run The 'Requery' Action

Oct 11, 2007

I have a Contacts form which has a Calls sub-form which itself has a Subjects sub-form. From the Contacts form the user can click a button which writes a pro-forma letter from a selection. The application then updates the Call & allows the user to select the Subject(s) from the Subjects available (drop-down menu). If the user wants to write a second letter immediately, I get the above message. If they do anything else first, they are OK.
I have tried refreshing the Contacts form & each of the others at various points in the process, explictly saving the record (caused another error) etc. without success.
Can you help?

"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.

I am a neophyte Access 2003 user attempting to build a new Form (all about Lynyrd Skynyrd but that is for discussion in a different forum)

But at the end I get an error message that says “Application Defined or Object Defined Error.” What do I do next?

Qry Results Show Duplicate Records, Records Are Not Dup In Table.

Nov 16, 2004

I have built a qry that initially shows the correct information. For example.

tblContent has 289 records with a Type = Class.

I built a Query to select from tblContent Type = Class and I get 289 records. I add additional criteria of Progress <>"Not Scheduled", I then get 206 records. I then add additional criteria Last Name <>"Demo" And <>"Care" And <>"Support". This brings up 200 records, but the query appears to duplicate each record 3 times. I do not have 3 of the same types of records.

The SQL Statement is below

SELECT tblProfile.LoginName, tblProfile.FirstName, tblProfile.LastName, tblProfile.Organization, tblProfile.CostCenter, tblContent.Title, tblContent.Type, tblContent.Code, tblContent.[Date Assigned], tblContent.[Date Started], tblContent.[Last Accessed], tblContent.Progress, tblContent.[Date Completed]
FROM tblProfile INNER JOIN tblContent ON tblProfile.LoginName = tblContent.LoginName
WHERE (((tblProfile.LastName)<>"Demo" And (tblProfile.LastName)<>"Care" And (tblProfile.LastName)<>"Support") AND ((tblContent.Type)="Class") AND ((tblContent.Progress)<>"Not Scheduled"));

The qry is named qryPhysical Class. I have provided the link to view the database. Can you help me?

Modules & VBA :: Runtime Error 3464 On Form Command Button

Jun 22, 2014

I am currently creating a form which includes a command button to update a field in a table to show Today's Date, at the time of running a query I am still yet to write.

I have the following code for my Command Button, which is returning the Runtime Error 3464 (Data type mismatch in Criteria Expression):

Private Sub cmdAddTodaysDate_Click()
CurrentDb.Execute (" UPDATE tblMyTable SET TodaysDate = " & Date & " WHERE tblMyTable.ProductCode = " & Me.txtProductCode)
End Sub

The query above seems to be having issues matching the text from the 'txtProductCode' textbox to the table field 'ProductCode'.

Forms :: Change Command To Toggle - Run Time Error 2115

Apr 14, 2015

I have a routine than has been working perfectly up to now. My save routine was called by clicking a Command Button called cmdAdd.

I tried to change this Command Button to a toggle button by deleting it then creating the toggle button, naming it cmdAdd and clicking on the event property to link it to the existing procedure. PS It is an UnboundForm

BTW, I've done this for several other commands without a problem but with this particular case I get the following error

Run Time Error 2115.

The macro or function set to the Before Update or Validation Rule is preventing Access from saving etc."

It seems likely that I need to do something to the toggle properties.

It allows the docmd.save but still says "You must save the current field before you run the Requery action"

The system is looking to save/update and something is stopping it. Funny though that this doesn't occur with Command Button

I have tried decompiling, compact and repair, commenting out every line that involved updating a field or variable (Except for a recordset operation that does correctly do the updates required)

BTW the Toggle button has no Before or After Update events - Only the On_Click

Coding Command Button To Add A Few New Records To A Table

Nov 2, 2006

I have 2 tables, one has a list of comments indexed by numbers.

The second table will be populated with numbers that correspond to the first table based on usage of the form that I'm about to describe.

The form contains several check boxes. Each corresponds to a comment from the first table. If 3 of the check boxes are selected when the command button is pressed, I want three separate new record entries to go into the second table and the data that I want entered is the text in the label that is next to each check box on the form. After the records are added to the table, I'd like to reset the check boxes.

I simply cannot figure out how to code the button to do this.

Changing A Command Button According To The Number Of Records

Nov 13, 2007

I have a subform where you can add multiple records. i have a command button labelled NEXT (which obviously navigates to the next record) but I only want this to be enabled when there is more than one record.

I am OK on the enabling bit but how do you specify if the record number >1?

Does someone have time to start me off on some code?
