I wrote code that should validate a field when entering a new record and then if a condition is true, that new record should be cancelled and not entered into the table.
I managed to partially achieve this by writing the code below, but the new record does not get cancelled because the table will still create a PK for that record and leave the rest of the fields empty. I am using an autonumber for the PK that's why the table creates it automatically What I want to achieve is to cancel the creation of a new record at once, I don't want even PK created for that new record.
I used the CancelUpdate because I thought it would cancel the record creation, but it did not! When I read about it it said that I need to use it with either Edit or AddNew, (which i don't understand why!) but it still does not work.
Private Sub PlotNum_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo Err_msg
Dim db As DAO.Database, rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim n As Integer, i As Integer
Dim vPlotNum As Integer
Dim vPhaseID As Integer
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tblHouse")
rs.MoveLast
n = rs.RecordCount
rs.MoveFirst
If n > 0 Then
For i = 1 To n
If rs![PhaseID] = vPhaseID Then
If rs![PlotNum] = vPlotNum Then
rs.Edit
rs.CancelUpdate
MsgBox "This plot number already exist in this particular phase." & vbCrLf & "Please choose a different Plot Number"
Forms![frmHouse].qryHouse2.Form![PlotNum].Text = ""
End If
End If
rs.MoveNext
Next i
End If
rs.Close
db.Close
Set db = Nothing
Set rs = Nothing
Exit_Err_msg:
Exit Sub
Err_msg:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Err_msg
End Sub
Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

am using VB to check for an id if it is a new record. i have a message that pops up.
If IsNull(Form_myform![ID].Value) Then response = MsgBox("You have not entered your ID. Do you intend for this to be a record?", vbYesNoCancel, "id check")
but how do i get it to not enter the record into the table if no or cancel is clicked?
I am doing one project using access. I 've made two forms. In one form, lets say, it contains two common buttons. Both buttons will load the same second form and will add new record to the same table. When I click first button, it will load second form with all fields blank and one field of record will autofill one value,lets say "a" to the table.That field shouldn't be appeared in the second form,just want to fill automatically. Then the other fields of new records will be filled by the user input from the second form. Also, when I click second button, it will do similarly but only the autofill value will be different from the first one. Does anyone know how to make it? If don't understand what I am saying, I can explain it again. Any help will be grateful for me.
I have a form and a subform in it. I added New cancel button in the form so that the the user can cancel the record creation and no record will be inserted in the parent table.
But when details are entered in the subform (a datasheet) row records will be created in the subform table. what is the correct method or how to cancel these records if the user choose to click cancel button on the parent form.
I have a database with 3 tables. Each table has an account number field however the tables are completely different as are the account numbers that populate them. To go with the tables are queries that will bring in desired information. What i would like is for the user to input an account number on a form and have some code in the background that will find the account number in the table it is in and open the corresponding query. Is this possible? Thanks for the help. I have been trying to write code with DLookup but can't seem to get it to do what I want.
AutonumberPK RequestType (Lookup to TypeTable) RequestNumber RequestName
This table then Relates to a request detail table.
The question here,
There are two types or request (T1 and T2)
In my form to enter new Requests I will have a dropdown box to select the type of request.
The next field is the request number. If the type of request is T1 then the person entering the request will have a 6 digit number to enter. But if the request is T2 then I need to auto populate the field.
Is this possible? Or should I just build two forms, one for each type.
Also what would be the best way to auto fill in a number that follow this pattern.
05040001 05 = year 04 = month 0001 = the number of the request for this month.
I know you can use a "Conditional format" to change a color of a control in a report. What I am trying to do is change the whole line if a condition yields "True" of one control. I did it once before, but oops I didn't save my work. I am using the format [Entity]![IT]. Where "Entity" is either the department or vendor, and "IT" is for the IT department. I want the control "Name" to change color if "Entity" is true if "IT" is the data.
I'm calling this code on my Form's BeforeUpdate Event which I understand should only run if the form is dirty. In this example, the code should check to see if 4 fields ("txtField1", "txtField2", txtField3", "txtField4") have data present, if not highlight them yellow.
Function Msg() Dim ctl As Control Dim strFields As String Dim strControl As String Dim intCounter As Integer Dim blnEmpty As Boolean
For Each ctl In Me.Controls blnEmpty = False If ctl.ControlType = acComboBox Or acTextBox Then If ctl.Visible And Len(ctl.Tag) > 0 Then Select Case ctl.Tag Case "txtField1", "txtField2", txtField3", "txtField4" If IsNull(ctl.Value) Then blnEmpty = True ctl.BackColor = vbYellow Else ctl.BackColor = vbWhite End If Case Else If ctl.Value = 0 Then blnEmpty = True ctl.BackColor = vbYellow Else ctl.BackColor = vbWhite End If End Select If blnEmpty Then _ strFields = strFields & ctl.Tag & vbCrLf If blnEmpty Then _ If Len(strControl) = 0 Then _ strControl = ctl.Name End If End If Next
If Len(strFields) > 0 Then Cancel = True MsgBox "You have not completed all data fields, " & _ "please enter data in the following fields:" & vbCrLf & strFields, _ vbExclamation, Me.Caption Me(strControl).SetFocus Me(strControl).BackColor = vbWhite Exit Function End If End Function
However, it keeps falling over at: Cancel = True saying "Compile Error: Variable Not Defined"
I want to be able to run this code from a "Close Form button" to ensure that either the record is not created unless the fields listed are filled in or the form closure is cancelled so that the user can complete the missing data.
I've seen varients of this code on a couple of Access forums but can't find a solution for the "Cancel = True" issue.
I need for a valued to be changed in a row after it checks for how many rows have another value, counting how many and that number making it the amount field.
Example: Fields- Name sponsor amount
I want access to show how many people have been sponsored by Gabriel... So if 3 where sponsored by Gabriel show 3 to the amount field for Gabriel row! Any way to do this or an easier way?
I for it to check it every time a user is added incase the user added is sponsored by Gabriel add it automatically!
What I am trying to create is a Despatch database for our warehouse.
Records in table: Date () Customer Invoice # Qty of parcels sent Courier used consignment number
In most cases we will send one invoice per consignment number (database works fine for this) But on occasion we may send multiple invoices. What I want to be able to do is have a list box to select the number of invoices, this will make available additional fields for Invoice # and Qty of parcels sent. The idea is to get away from keying in the other records for each invoice going to the same place.
When I launch my modal, I want the user to be able to 'cancel' without creating a new record. It's not doing that and creating extra 'junk' in my table. How do I prevent that?
Here's my code: Private Sub Btn_Exception_SubModal_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "Frm_Exception_UpdateModal", acNormal, , acFormAdd Forms! [Frm_Exception_UpdateModal]![clientnmbr].value = Me![clientnmbr].value End Sub
It works a treat! However, I do not want this to continue to calculate if the record has them as deceased - I want it to stop at their date of death.
I have a tick box that when selected indicates that this record has died, and a field where you can enter date of death.
Is there some way that via clicking this button, or by entering a date of death, I can stop the Age Query from calculating for just that relevant record, not all of them? If so, where to place the necessary VBA, etc?
I have a cancel button on an add new record form and its not working for some reason. When I press cancel it prompts if I really want to cancel and when I press yes it cancels the record creation BUT it adds a number to the recordID autonumber as if one has been created. Is there anyway to stop this? Here is my code
Option Compare Database Private Sub Cancel_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Cancel_Click If Me.Dirty = True Then
What method(s) are available to detect when a user is at a new record? I really just want to change the .text property of a combo box when the user is creating a new record. If this sounds stupid, I can explain the specifics.
Access 2002 . Can I condition a field to 'locked' on just one record of a continuous form subfile, based on the contents of a 2nd field in same record?
I've a quick question. In Access, I have a form that allows user to add new record into a table. Is there anyway of finding whether the new record has successfully been inserted or added?
So i think it may be wise to have a message to notify us of whether it's inserted successfully or not.
Can someone please tell me why I might be adding a record everytime I open my database. I have to forms that work from querys if I open the main form all is well , if I open the other oone first and then the main form I find a record has been added. Most annoying! :(
I have a table of vacinations and need to add a new record every time an animal is vacinated. I have created a form with all the fields in the table in it. But when I open it it takes me to the first record. I have had to add a button to the form to add a new record. This button then takes me to a blank form where i can input data. This is very messy and not very user friendly. Any suggestions on how i can tidy this up would be appreciated greatly.
I have looked on here for hours and cannot find anything, perhaps someone can help. I have just converted from 97 to 2003 and now I cannot add new records to my forms. I have checked that the allowAddtions property is set to Yes but the New record icon and menu option is grayed out. I have looked through all the form settings and I can't see what it might be.
I have a form that has a list of textboxes linked to table properties, and a subform linked to the same table. I used the command button wizard to create an add record command, but when i click on it it comes up with:
You cant go to the specified record You may be at the end of a record set
i have checked the properties on the forms and querys and set all data entry to yes What should i do?
I have a form that has a list box with events in it. On the same form I have two combo boxes, each with the same information; officials names. I added a subform to form1 and I want this form to store and display the information that is chosen(officials and events). How do I make this happen? It seems easy, but I just can't wrap my finger around it.
