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:
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?
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
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
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)
I have a form with 22 data fields. There are 4 entry flow paths. (1) is 1 to 9, 10, 20 to 22 (2) is 1 to 9, 11 to 14, 20 to 22 (3) is 1 to 9, 15 to 17, 20 to 22 (4) is 1 to 9, 15 to 17, and stop at 19. If information is in Field 10, then I need to prohibit entry in the other 3 paths. How can I do this?
1.i trapped error 3314 and other errors at my custm buttons(save,edit...) but... at my 2 forms(one single and the other continuous, access gives me an error about an empty field in a table (primary id), when i press tab (it moves to next record). The same action has my continuous form when i click at an empty field at next record or pressing tab with empty values at primary fields.
What can i do to post my own messages?
2. I have a text box (a) that takes value form an other text box (b): b=2*a. both text boxes send values to a table How can i prevent user from chanching the value on (b) text box?
thanks in advance Dimitris Greece (sorry for my bad english)
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.)
i am using access against an Oracle DB through an ODBC driver, and when appending records to a local table, if access gets an Oracle record error "#deleted", the append query aborts. . . that's fine, but I can't figure out how to trap the error to get the rest of the records. . .
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
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?
I have a form which has a list of actions on it. There are 5 fields to be filled in per action. A user can add a new action by clicking the arrow button to go to the next blank record. My problem is that there is one field which is required. At the moment, if I click off the record I have just entered, and I have not filled the field, I get a standard access message telling me the required property of the field has not been set to true because it contains a null value. Obviously this is fine for me, I know what to do but my users will not understand it. I need to trap the error and put out a simple message along the lines of 'Please Select a Classification'. I don't know on which event I trap the error. The problem is that they could click off the record at any point, i.e., they might fill in 2 fields then click off, or they might fill 4. So I want it to be trapped just before the record is saved to the database but only after the user has been given the chance to fill all the fields in. I don't want the message to appear after they tab from field 1 to field 2, if you get what I mean.
I have form with a series of text boxes in which users can edit the data that is populated in them. For one of the text boxes I want to add an after update event, so that if the user changes the value in the text box, a message window appears telling them to click on the submit button at the bottom of the form.
Does anyone know the code that I should use to make this message appear when the value in the text box is changed?
I am trying to "silently" send an email if for instance an event is trigger. In this case, if the amount of X is less to the amount of Y then send an email to remind me to buy more from product X.
I will be using Outlook for this matter.
The .Body should read something like "Your reserves from "Product X" are reaching its minimum. Please buy more of it"...
I would like to have a message box popup 30 minutes after a user checks a checkbox (check5). I am thinking I would have to have VBA code to run on the After Update property of the checkbox but not sure what the correct code would be.
Does anybody know what this error message refers to?
"Reserved Error (-1517); there is no message for this error."
It just started happening today, and I haven't even made any changes to the database. It occurs when I hit a button I have to run a macro.
the macro does the following: 1) Shows all records 2) Requery 3) ApplyFilter. The Where Condition for the filter is: Right([tblContracts].[JobNum],4)=Right([Forms]![FrmContProc].[txtFindJobNum],4)
The weird thing is that it only occurs if the Form window is taller than 1/2 of my viewable area. If the Form window is 1/2 the viewable area or shorter, it works OK. This was running fine earlier today, but about 4:00 pm (03/31/06) this started happening.
If anybody knows what this error means, or how to get rid of it (I really need to use this window in full-screen) then please let me know.
Is it enough for error handling to code the on error property for each form? With enough I mean error handling which lets you resume the program.
Ontherwise I have to code (or call a procedure) for each coded event which i wouldn't prefer
For instance now I'm putting error handling in each event but would consider it more efficient if it can be placed once in each form Private Sub cmdReport_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdReport_Click
I have attached a screen print of an error message I recieved on my access database. I finally got it to come up, but only after a few pop up boxes with this error message.
I do know the shared drive it is housed on went on the fritz. So I copied it and pasted it to my desk top. Grrr...I thought this message was due to the flipping shared drive. But now, I recieved it on my desk top too.
Anywho...can someone look at it and tell me what it means.
Thanks alot.
PS, i know my desktop has to much stuff, so don't go there. ;)
Hi can anyone help i keep clicking on a qry and it comes up with this message "Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'tblSTSLimits.Max Short'. but Max Short is correct can anyone help
I have a table that keeps crashing. The only error message I get is "Invalid Argument". Each time, a single record will turn into "#Error". Each field says this in the row. When this happens, Access won't let me delete just that row,
I am trying to Right Join two queries which are basically from the same exact table, but when I do that I get the following error.
ODBC--called failed.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] The column prefix 'MS1' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query. (#107).
The following is a copy of my SQL
SELECT PqryExpiredPolicy.Policy_Number, PqryExpiredPolicy.Orig_Exp_Date, PqryExpiredPolicy.Insured_Key, PqryNewPolicy.Policy_Number, PqryExpiredPolicy.Name FROM PqryNewPolicy RIGHT JOIN PqryExpiredPolicy ON PqryNewPolicy.Insured_Key = PqryExpiredPolicy.Insured_Key;
I have looked for this MS1 and cannot find it. Any ideas where I should be looking or what this means?
