Trap 2 Error Messages On A Button In Form

Apr 4, 2006

Hi, I have a button in a form that loads a report, if there is no data in the report then 2 error messages are displayed, however as these messages have no affect and they do no harm as such I would like to prevent them from being displayed. The error messages are error 91 “invalid use of isnull” error and error 2501 “cancel event error message”

I’ve been able to prevent either error 91 from being displayed or alternatively 2501 using a single if statement but not both of them together using two if statements.

(If error 94 is displayed, I would still like the report to open, error 2501 is displayed after the report is closed if there’s no data & i just want this message not to be shown)

Any ideas what im doing wrong? :confused: any help much appreciated

Regards

Kevin


Below code works ok (to trap just the one error message):

Err_cmdPreview_Click:
If Err.Number = 2501 Then ' ignore cancel event error
Else
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
End If
Resume Exit_cmdPreview_Click

End Sub


But the below code here doesn’t work (when I use 2 if statements to try & trap both of the error messages)

Err_cmdPreview_Click:
If Err.Number = 94 Then ' ignore isnull error
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acNormal

Else
If Err.Number = 2501 Then ' ignore cancel event error
Else
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
End If

Resume Exit_cmdPreview_Click

End Sub

Apr 29, 2015

how to change Access default error messages with custom messages? Like, if I enter some data in a sub form where the parent form is empty new record, default error message says that 'You must enter a value in the 'column name' field'.

I want to disable this default message and display my own error message. Now I know MessageBox and MsgBox fuctions to display custom messages, but how to disable the default message.

Trap The Automatic Message Box For A Button

Mar 1, 2006

Hi everyone

I posted this question about an hour ago but I seem to have been logged out by the time that I actually pressed "send", so I don't know whether it was posted correctly - I can't find it!

I've created four buttons on a form to negotiate my way through the records. When I come to the end, a message box is shown stating that the next record cannot be found (it doesn't exist). Can I trap this message and use it to activate some code? I thought about a form popping up (in "corporate" colours to match the remainder of the database) or a form asking whether I want to add another record.

I looked at the code that Access generated when I made the buttons, and I saw the following:

Err_MyButton_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_MyButton_Click

I "remmed" out the middle line, but the automatic message box still appeared. I added a line of code: <MsgBox Err.Number>, but that didn't give a result, so I guess that the message box that's being shown isn't generated via this snippet of code.

I know that I could disable the relevant button when the record number reaches the end or add another button to add a new record, but I'd like to trap this automatic message box. Can I do so, and, if so, how?

Thanks for your time.

Trap Error

Jun 30, 2005

I'm using Pat Hartman's code to select items from a list box and then append the records to a table. If a user doesn't select anything before clicking the buttom I'm trying to give them an error message. I've tried it in various places but can't get it to work. The attached is giving me the error message regardless of whether they have selected anything or not.

On Error GoTo Err_CreateAttendanceRecords_Click

Dim i As Variant
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim qd As DAO.QueryDef

Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set qd = dbs.QueryDefs!qrynewvaluations2
Set rst = qd.OpenRecordset

If i = 0 Then
MsgBox "You must select at least one property before continuing"
Exit Function
End If

For Each i In ctlref.ItemsSelected

rst.AddNew
rst!valprop = ctlref.ItemData(i)
rst!valdate = Me.txtValDAte
rst.Update

Next i
Set rst = Nothing
Set qd = Nothing
MsgBox "Records Created"

exit_createattendancerecords_Click:
Exit Function

Err_CreateAttendanceRecords_Click:
Select Case Err.Number
Case 3022 'ignore duplicate keys
Resume Next
Case Else
MsgBox Err.Number & "-" & Err.Description
Resume exit_createattendancerecords_Click
End Select


Any suggestions?

Thanks

Trap This Error

Jun 20, 2005

If you open the attached sample you will see what my problem is.

I have Form /Subform with look up combo that will not allow duplicate entries in same subform record. This works fine, access displays an error when a duplicate has been added as it should. What I want to do is trap that error myself and display a msgbox that will allow the entry to undo (the msgbox undo etc I can handle, it the trapping of the error)


Thanks in advance.

How To Trap An Error (and Force A Choice)?

Dec 1, 2005

How do I programmatically force an error dialog to make a certain choice?

I'm able to trap the dialog via the following code:


Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer)
If DataErr = 7787 Then 'record updated by another "user" (subform)
MsgBox "Error trapped!"
Response = acDataErrContinue
Else
Response = acDataErrDisplay
End If
End Sub


Problem is, if I bypass the 7787 error in this manner, it defaults to dropping the changes, rather than saving the record, which is what I want. (Both are choices on the dialog.)

Any help would be most appreciated.

Modules & VBA :: Trap The Error If Particular Field Not Get Imported Due To Incorrect Format?

Sep 23, 2014

I am importing .txt files into Access table via VBA code (i.e., not via Saved Import Spec). Is there a way to trap the error if a particular field does not get imported due to incorrect format? When you import via Saved Import Spec and there are errors in formatting, Access generates an 'ImportErrors' table, which tells you which fields could not be updated.

Is there a way to generate a similar 'ImportErrors' table with VBA error checking?

Replacing Command Button Automatic Messages

Aug 31, 2006

Is there a way to over-ride the message box which is automatically generated when you use the Wizard button to create command buttons?

ie. When you create a button through the wizard to delete a record it says "You are deleting one record" is there a way to override that message and put another one

i look at the code but I cannot see where the message part is inputted.

I realise that i can probably write the code long hand but (always) looking for a quicker way.

Access Error Messages

Mar 27, 2007

Hi all,

Is there any resource that gives a definitive run down on all the errors that can exist within access; their causes and solutions. For example; the enter parameter msg box that appears when it doesn't recognise field value.

Just curious.

Thanks

Aug 30, 2007

OMG - I've have spent what seems like forever doing this database and I've opened it and it has listed the following saying that they are broken references and I must fix them but I don't even know what they are!

What I have to fix is:-

I could just about put my head in my hands and cry - I just want to get this done so that I can get it invoiced before the month end.

Many many thanks to all that know what these strange alien messages are.

Error Messages On Forms

Feb 7, 2005

I have a form with the text box "Project Name"

I have used a command button placed next to the project name box which if clicked opens up a finance details form for the project name box.

Problem is if that project does not have any finance details it still opens up the form but just comes up as totally blank.

Is there anyway i can get an error message to come up and say
"No matching data found for this project" when they click the command button to open up the finance form, but there is no finance data?

I have tried but unsuccessfully.

I entered this code

Private Sub Label75_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Label75_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String

stDocName = "Contract Filtered"

If Combo22 = "" Then
MsgBox "No Matching Data Found", vbExclamation

End If

stLinkCriteria = "[Project Number]=" & Me![ProjectName]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria





Exit_Label75_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_Label75_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Label75_Click

End Sub


But instead of not opening the blank form, it comes up with the error message and then opens the blank form.

Or if there is finance data for that project it comes up with the error box still and opens the form

Any ideas people?

Thank you please

Create Error Messages

Feb 8, 2005

I have a very simple database I wrote a few years ago that provides reports on data (mainly calculating sums & percents on those sums). When run, the reports open form-dialog boxes that prompt for criteria. The dialog boxes then become invisible & the query accesses the data in the invisible form & allows the report to run.

What is the easiest way to have the program display error messages when
1. The criteria entered is not found
2. The form/dialog box has an empty field

Right now, the computer has an automatically-generated action failed message and the macro halts. These are confusing to the user.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Invalid (?) Error Messages - Any Ideas?

Jun 16, 2005

I have a database containing various linked tables and all has been fine for years.
I now have to add some fields to the main table and change some field sizes. I know about the 255 field limit. And I know that an individual record cannot exceed 2K.

BUT, when I simply lower the size of a text field, (i.e., from 40 to 30), I get either the message Too Many Fields Defined or Record Is Too Large.

Disable System Error Messages

Mar 1, 2006

Is there a way to disable the automatic error messages that occur when a user:
1. enters a letter in a number field
2. enters a date in the wrong format (should be MM/DD/YY and they enter MM//DD/YY, etc.)
3. clicks on a button that will open a hyperlink (Currently a message pops up to make sure the user wants to follow the link, by selecting "Yes" the hyperlink opens.)

I would like to add in my own error messages for the above errors but I don't know how to disable the system generated error messages.

Thanks!

Error Messages / Report Generation

Jun 27, 2006

Hey,

Newbie here,

my frist error message appears as soon as I create a new database. As soon as a I create the name and it opens the new database a message pops up that says "Error Loading DLL" does anyone know what this is? and will it create a problem for me?

Secondly, I have a database that will be used for employee Reviews so the fields I have are as follows: Key, Date, Time, Department, Employee, Topic, Explanation, and Supervisor. I want to be able to generate a report for each employee, however I am not sure how to use the wizard to create this. If anyone knows of some tutorials or report aids I'd love to get my hands on them!

thanks!

Access 2000 Error Messages. Please Help!

Jan 20, 2005

Hello,

I have encountered several problems with my Access 2000 application on the server at work within one day, and I am very frustrated. Your help is greatly appreciated! Please....

1/ Sometimes, ALL the tables and queries disappear from the database. I checked everything, nobody hide the objects. Do you know why? I even import new tables to see if those appear, they still do NOT show?? I even created blank database, try to import those tables "hidden", it promped need to be repaired it, then I looked back the original database, the tables re-appear; however, later on, it does have error, prompted "NOT a valid bookmark"?? When I add new records thru the form, it has the word "#error" on every fields....

2/ Some users can open, some can NOT open the same database on the same server. For those users can not open, the errors varies. For examples: it prompts that the "database needs to be repaired," after clicking "Yes", it prompts, it "could not open the database" OR "The database has been placed in a state by an unknown user that prevents it from being opened or locked" eventhough nobody open exclusively!! OR "The table 'MSysAccessObjects' is already opened exclusively by another user, or it is already open through the user interface and cannot be manipulated programmatically."

Have you seen any errors stated in 2/ in RED above. What should I do??

Please help. Thanks so much,
T

3/
