I am not new to Access, however I am just starting to get to the point where I need visual basic to complete some things I want to try. My question is, how do I code a button (or modify an existing one) in my form that will email the same output I get when I use a Print Report button. Here is what I have from my standard buttons:
Private Sub Save_Svc_Record_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Save_Svc_Record_Click
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
Exit_Save_Svc_Record_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Save_Svc_Record_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Save_Svc_Record_Click
End Sub
Private Sub Prt_Svc_Record_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Prt_Svc_Record_Click
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 8, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.PrintOut acSelection
Exit_Prt_Svc_Record_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Prt_Svc_Record_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Prt_Svc_Record_Click
End Sub
Private Sub Add_Svc_Record_Click()

DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec

Thanks in advance for any help I can get.
I have a Form that currently contains a checkbox that has the following OnClick event...
SELECT tblPlayerRegister.Surname,tblPlayerRegister.[Club],tblPlayerRegister.Age
FROM tblPlayerRegister
WHERE (((tblPlayerRegister.Age) < 11) And ((tblPlayerRegister.Club) = "Beaconsfield"))
ORDER BY tblPlayerRegister.Surname;
The aim of this is to select the Surname, Club & Age from the Table PlayerRegister where the Age is less than 11 and the Club is 'Beaconsfield' and then Sort in Ascending Order by Surname.
I get an error when I write this code and I don't know what I am doing wrong.
I am not very knowledgable with Coding but I have given it a go.
There will eventually be many checkboxes with different criteria and I don't want to do a query for every one.
Could somebody please advise what I have done wrong?
Thank-you for any assistance given.
Okay here is my code, I had thread open awhile back. In regards of exporting main form and subform to word. Here is the code, I am still having problem with it. I can't seen to take export nothing or if I switch around dbs.close and rs.close, I end up exporting whole subform (meaning all the selected text from all the records to on one word doc. I don't know what I am missing, and it has gone beyond the limits and I have turn my brain upside down, but still no answer :( It has to be something with coding. Because, I know my subform is working fine, if I print out a report on access. Help me out plz.
TIA

Hey, i need help with a code. It shouldn't be too hard but i don't know where to start as i am unskilled on this program.
I am looking for an input box saying 'enter password here' to pop-up. If it is the same as say 'customer' then i want it to let the user into another form.
Does anyone have any idea.
Please help,
cheers,

Hi,
I just created a database for work, its got two fields on the form, item and Price.
What i want it to do is when I enter the amount of item, I want it to automatically work out (price = £3.99)the price per item and display it on the Price text box on access.
I done VB but cant remember much, i Know u might have to do a IF statement.
any ideas how this could be done.
trying to make it so that when you open the report, it'll pop a dialog box for users to choose the dates (from date to to date. ie. 04/15/05 to 07/17/05). When I click on the report, dialog shows up fine but it finds every record... can someone please help me with this.
here's the coding for the report

any kind of help would be appreciated
Yesterday I was advised by 'Smart' on placing a certain code, as follows:
In the after update trigger of the combo box you can do the following
If YourCombobox = "-" Then
yourtextfield.ForeColor = vbRed
Else: yourtextfield.ForeColor = 0
End If
__________________
Please forgive my ignorance but where do I put this code... on the line for 'after update' or in the code builder. If it is the latter, how do I begin the code because it has Private Sub and End Sub. I am obviously no expert but I'm just trying to plod along and learn as I go.
Your help is gratefully accepted.
Hi everyone.
Need a little help here please.
I want to track the shipping costs for my products (no commercial value) which I mail world wide. My fields are:
Product Name
Product Weight
Quantity
Mailing Zone
Unit mailing cost
Total mailing cost
On my input form Product Name and Product Weight are input using a combo box.
Quantity is entered manually.
I have a table listing my products and the unit cost (best price) to send them to various world mailing zones.
I want to create a combo box on the Mailing Zone field and code it so that when I select a Mail Zone, the Unit mailing cost field is updated with the correct value for the product.
All help gratefully appreciated.

I have a quick question. I have a main form with a label and a button on it. When the button is pressed a secondary form pops up. The second form has a button on it also. I am trying to code the button on the second from so that when it is pressed the label changes its value on the first form. In the past it was quite easy as there was no second form so in the Onclick VB coding of the button on the first form had something like:
With Me.mainHeading
.caption = "Recontacts"
End With
But, with the secondary form, the "Me." does not work. Is there a way i can replace the "Me." with some sort of link back to the first form?
I have a combo box (cmboType) and the options are (let's say) Cat1, Cat3, Dog4, Mouse5 (but there are about 30). If I select cat (any type)I then (manually) tick a Yes/No box.(chkYes)
How can I make the box picked ticked automatically whenever I select a cat in the combo box.
I am trying (on the afterupdate event of the combo box) something like
If cmboType is like "Ca*" then
chkYes = true
Obviously this doen't work - can anyone help me with the correct code?
I have the following code that will import OLE objects into access, and it works quite well...but, how do I get it to check to see if a reocrd already exists and not to duplicate a reocrd? I am not a programmer, I have a couple of ideals but I don't know where to start. Any help would be appreciated.
If I were to put a new file into the folder, I would like the code to only import the new file and all files again. Which currently it will just create new reocrds for the existing document. I hope I have explained this... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. vb Code: Original - vb Code Private Sub cmdLoadOLE_Click() Dim MyFolder As String Dim MyExt As String Dim MyPath As String Dim MyFile As String Dim strCriteria As String MyFolder = Me!SearchFolder ' Get the search path.

Yesterday I posted a question and rec'd good advice but as usual I don't think I explained myself very well.
As the attached picture of my Form shows, I have a checkbox for each Age Group under each Team. I originally had a query that would come up for each Team's particular Age Group and then the required data copuld be input. This leads to too many querys clogging things up. I tried to copy the SQL code of one of the query's to the On_Click event of the checkbox but as I have been informed SQL is different to VB.
All I would like to know is how to convert the SQL to VB coding so that I can continue to do the coding for each Checkbox.
The SQL code for the first checkbox is:
SELECT tblPlayerRegister.Surname, tblPlayerRegister.[First Name], tblPlayerRegister.Age, tblPlayerRegister.[D'n], tblPlayerRegister.G1, tblPlayerRegister.SP, tblPlayerRegister.Age2, tblPlayerRegister.G1A
FROM tblPlayerRegister
WHERE (((tblPlayerRegister.Age)<11) AND ((tblPlayerRegister.Club)="Beaconsfield"))
ORDER BY tblPlayerRegister.Surname, tblPlayerRegister.[First Name];
If there is an easier way, by all means let me know.
Any assistance would be greatfully appreciated.
hi. I am trying to write a code to sum the total cost of all jobs that are selected as 'yes' in a combo box.
Once the user selects 'yes' in a combo box, they enter in a cost for that specific job. Each client may have 10s of jobs. I need to write a code that will sum up all the 'yes' selected jobs for a client. I know it should be an 'if' statement but I can't seem to get it to work. I need this value for a report. How would I do this and where would i put the code.
Help is appreciated.
What I am trying to do is create 3 (or more) parameters for a query from a single table. Lets use this for example:
Table Name= "tblExample"
Field Name "A" with Perameter "1"
Field Name "B" with Perameter "2"
Field Name "C" with Perameter "3"
(All from Table= "tblExample")
My intentions are that when the query is run, the user is asked to include 3 subjects (1 subject per perameter; 3 perameters total that pop up). But I am having trouble making it so that if a random person using this query doesn't know or can't remember 1 or 2 of the subjects they are looking for, the query will just (in a sense) ignore the two blank parameters the user has left alone, and just clicked the "ok" button without entering anything, and use the 1 parameter that it was given a subject for, to filter/query out a result.
If you beleive you will have trouble explaining this to me, I'll use this as an example:
Table Name: "tblExample"
Field Name: "A" with Parameter "1"
Field Name: "B" with Parameter "2"
Field Name: "C" with Parameter "3"
(All from Table: "tblExample")
The user uses the query and is asked by the first parameter for input. The user isn't sure, and clicks ok without entering anything, and parameter 2 pops up. The user then enters a subject of which he/she knows to look for and clicks "ok". Then the final parameter asks the user for input, and the user again doesn't know, or can't remember so he/she just presses the "ok" button.
What would be the coding for this kind of parameter that if nothing is entered, the parameter is ignored?
In desperate need of assistance. Thanks in advnace

Need Help:
Table has several fields, two that pertain to this question are:
[Time] and [AM/PM] User inputs both, values such as
11:00 am
11:30 am
12:10 pm
I have to change the pm to am if the time is between 12:00 and 12:59.
I have an update query that works but I want to place code in a report that does the same thing without using
DoCmd.Open Query
I would rather use an If statement.
Please help.
I placed this question in Microsoft and reply did not answer the question. Rather told me ampm would automatically show up.
I knew that, but want to change the automatic pm for sorting purposes.

Hi All,
I am setting up a database to help me prepare codes for employees timesheets in order to upload them into our payroll software. The table structure below is just my preliminary thoughts and current ideas and I guess I'm looking for ideas on how to work with my codes.
EMPLOYEE TABLE
EmpID (PK) - Employee ID # [Autonumber]
Surname - Employee's surname [Text]
Firstname - Employee's first name [Text]
ATTENDANCE TABLE
ShiftID (PK) - Shift ID# [Autonumber]
EmpID (SK) - Employee ID# [Foreign Key]
Date - Date of shift [Date/Time]
Start - Start time of shift [Time]
Finish - Finish time of shift [Time]
CostCtr - Cost centre being billed for shift. [Integer]
When employees work they are entitled to the following:
* Ordinary hours (code 001) for all hours worked.
* 10% penalty (code 006) for all hours worked when shift finishes after 18:00
* 12% penalty (code 007) for all hours when shift crosses midnight
* 50% penalty (code 008) for hours worked on a saturday
* 100% penalty (code 009) for hours worked on a sunday
The following shows data that in my Attendance table for an employee who worked shifts on the 16th (Mon), 17th (Tue), 20th (Fri), and 22nd (Sun).
ShiftIDEmpIDDateStartFinishCostCtr
18443416/10/0610:0019:00
28443417/10/0610:0019:003002
38443420/10/0622:0006:003001
48443422/10/0614:0022:00
From the above data I believe I will need to make another table that contains the entitlement codes generate from each shift.
For the first shift on Monday 16/10/06 I need to collect the following codes for the total calculation:
CodeHoursCostCtr
0019.00
0069.00
For the second shift on Tuesday 17/10/06 I need to collect the following codes for the total calculation:
CodeHoursCostCtr
0019.003002
0069.003002
For the third shift on Friday 20/10/06 I need to collect the following codes for the total calculation:
CodeHoursCostCtr
0018.003001 'Ordinary hours worked
0078.003001 '12% penalty as shift crossed midnight hour
0086.003001 'Only worked 6 actual hours on the Saturday as 2 hours were on Friday night.
For the fourth shift on Sunday 22/10/06 I need to collect the following codes for the total calculation:
CodeHoursCostCtr
0018.00'Ordinary hours worked
0098.00'Hours worked on the Sunday
From that information the only data I really need to store in a table would be the totals grouped by code and cost centre. Eg.,
CodeHoursCostCtr
00117.00
001 8.003001
001 9.003002
006 9.00
006 9.003002
007 8.003001
008 6.003001
009 8.00
Does anyone know the best way to go about this? Should I generate a new table that links these codes to an employee? Should I make a function to calculate the codes for each day and store them in a table or make the function only sum the code totals for the week and store them in a table?

I have a form that I use to both add new records and edit existing ones. I do this thru a combobox and two command buttons. One button opens form in add records mode with combobox visible property set to no. The other button sets the visible property to true. I am getting an error message that "the field combo60 can not be found" Here is my code:
Private Sub Label63_Click()

Me![Combo60].Visible = True

The name of the combox is right. Can anyone help?
Hello
below is the code I am using to update multiple records on a sub form so that QtyReceived=QtyOrdered when you click the ReceiveButton, now my understanding of VBA is a little limited and the code I'm using won't work in my main form "frmReceiving" only in the subform "frmReceivingSubform" can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
Private Sub ReceiveButton_Click()
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = Me.frmReceivingSubform.RecordsetClone
With rs
.MoveFirst
Do While Not .EOF
If rs("QtyReceived") = 0 Then
.Edit
rs("QtyReceived") = [QtyOrdered]
.Update
End If
.MoveNext
Loop
.Close
End With
Set rs = Nothing
End Sub

I have several list boxes, and each is populated using a query source. I want to make it so that when you double click a given entry it pops up either a form or query that says more information on the item.
Each list box is populated using two fields from the query a name and a number.
Example
Item A | Value A
Item B | Value B
Item C | Value C
I want it so if you were to double click Item A a form opens with the rest of the information
so a text box or whatever with the following
Item A Value A AnotherValue A Etc A ....
Basically I want to be able to pop up a single line of the query based on double clicking of the list box entry.
This is what I have so far in code:
Code: Private Sub prospectLW_DblClick(Blah As Integer) Dim varItem As VariantDim strPlayer As String strPlayer = Me.prospectLW.ItemsSelected.Item(varItem) MsgBox strPlayer DoCmd.OpenForm ("Popup1") End Sub
The trouble I am having is getting the value from the listbox if I can get say Item A when you double click it ignoring the other info I want just the name of "Item A" so that when I open the form I can use that variable to filter the form I made that is basically just the query within a form. I hope that is enough information if not let me know I can add more.
I have a form (see attached) and every time someone goes to a different field I would like to change the border to red and when they leave that field to change the border back to the default color. I know I can put the code in for each fields got focus and lost focus section but would rather be able to put the code in once and for it to work for all the fields.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have an initial start up page where someone in any division can go and select their division from a combo box. What I want them then to be able to do is click one of the forms (New Entry,Edit Entry,.....).
For the form New entry I am looking to open the form with the division name to filled into a text box. I also would like to have that box that box also correspond to a field in a the table for a new entry.
Hi, I need to colour code fields in my database based on whether the data entered is a guess, derived data or factual data...
I have no idea how to do this! Apart from create a field corresponding to each field in my database with the values 1-3 in (1 for guess, 2 for derived etc) but I'm pretty sure this will dash any hopes I have of getting normal form in my database.
Anyone know an easy way to do this? As far as I know conditional formatting won't work as it's the user that tells the database what colour code to use for each field.
Thanks very much for any help you can provide.
Cheers,

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.
