Hey all... I have three searchable fields in my query ATM if i search the MO, and the job code by themselves they don't error out. But if i try searching the FName field. It says "You have canceled the previous operation? Can someone help me with this
View RepliesI have subform where access lists orderitems(the main form contains the order info). The subform uses a query to lookup items thats in the orderlist. Everything works fine execpt when I change something in a dropdowncombo list in the orderlist sheet(like in sample northwind db) the I get "You cancelled the previous operation". The post IS changed and everything seems to work nice but why do I get this error?
The combo uses "SELECT DISTINCT Items.IDItem, Items.Item FROM Items;" as rowsource and also "ListedItems.IDItem" as controlsource.
I don't know why this error message appear.
this message appear when I a lookup function is run.
The code statement that genrate this error for me is:
CName = DLookup("Name", "VisCardHolders", "Indx=" & CIndx)
Dim CIndx as long
CIndx=50025
The VisCardholders is a recordset consists of two fields:
CIndx
Name
One of the exist records in the [VisCardholders] is
CIndx=50025
Name: James Southern
.I tried to find the reason of this error but unfortuantelly, I found nothing.
Please tell me.
The code below is from a form named frmWorkorderComplete I use to append the tblWorkordersComplete table with data from the fields in the table tblWorkOrders. I'm trying to prevent duplicate entries in the tblWorkOrdersComplete table. To do this, I create a unique identifier for each record to be appended by combining the "ordered", "company", and "salescategory" into a string which is inserted into the "wonmbr" primary key field of the tblWorkorderComplete.
The following code is used in the subroutine to check if a particular wonmbr has already been appended. However, I keep receiveing the error: "Runtime Error 2001- You cancelled the previous operation" EVERYTHING else in this sub routine works fine when I remove the offending code:
If DCount("[wonmbr]", "tblWorkorderComplete", "[wonmbr] = str_wonmbr") > 0 Then
MsgBox "Workorder Already Appended!"
Exit Sub
Else

Hi there, I quickly made a database, and for some reason, can't get past this 'cancelled' error, to get it to occur, open the Companies form, click orders and then it pops up.
By deleting all of the data in my tables, I can get to a state where I can once again enter data, but after closing the orders subform and opening it again, once again I have the dreaded error.
If anyone has any ideas of why this may be happening, feel free to share them :P
Thanks alot,
James Prince

Basically I used the forms wizard to create a linked sub form, and when moving to a new order thats when it errors I think.
Hi, I've been progamming Access for a couple of years so am not a complete novice but I can't seem to work out this problem.
I downloaded some code from "databasedev.co.uk" from the query section called "Using a Microsoft Access listbox to pass criteria to a query". It works fine. However when I import my own table and change the code to SELECT the imported table and change the WHERE statement to my new string within that table , I get an error. When I select from the list box and click the command button I get the message "You canceled the previous operation".
However if I select the "ALL" selection from the list box it does return all the records.
Any help would be gratefully received!

Code:Private Sub iProduct_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If DCount("*", "Products", "Product = " & Me.iProduct) > 0 Then MsgBox ("Code Executed Successfully") End IfEnd Sub
I keep getting the error 2001: you canceled the previous operation and I don't know why.
'Products' is the table name, 'Product' is the field name and 'iProduct' is the name of the comboBox on the form.
Hi,
I have the following code:
Private Sub PLPREMCAL_Click()
Dim ColumnNumber As Integer
ColumnNumber = [NoWorkingDirectors] + [NoManualEmployees] + [NoPriciples]
If [LOI] = "2.6m" Then
PLPremium = DLookup("[" & ColumnNumber & "Emp]", "2_6m", "[Business]=Forms![Form1]![Business]")
ElseIf [LOI] = "3.9m" Then
PLPremium = DLookup("[" & ColumnNumber & "Emp]", "3_9m", "[Business]=Forms![Form1]![Business]")
ElseIf [LOI] = "6.5m" Then
PLPremium = DLookup("[" & ColumnNumber & "Emp]", "6_5m", "[Business]=Forms![Form1]![Business]")
ElseIf [LOI] = "10m" Then
PLPremium = DLookup("[" & ColumnNumber & "Emp]", "10m", "[Business]=Forms![Form1]![Business]")
End If
End Sub
LOI is coming from a Combobox on my form. When I change the LOI I want the PLPremium value on my form to up tho the value in that table.
It's so frustrating - I keep getting this run time error
Would REALLY appreciate any help.
I am developing a database that has to process order sheets and invoices. I am basically almost finished, till I am stuck at this problem.
I made a form frmInvoiceItems2, that allows the user to enter new items or to search for exisiting items that can be amended.
And I have another form called frmOrder2, which allows the user to enter an order from a company.
It contains a subform which is called: frmItemOrder.
If the combobox cboCompany in frmOrder2 is selected (a company), then the combox Items in subform has to refresh the data to show only items from that selected company.
However, when I change the CompanyID in tblInvoiceItems2 into format Number, then the frmOrder2 works, and if I change it into Text, then it doesn't work in frmOrder2 and it works in frmInvoiceItems2.
I am seriously stuck here, and tried to work it out howeever it's a vicious cycle for me!
Hope I have explained it clearly....!!
I am trying to open a form with a specified record using double clicked event (list box) but access is throwin "The OpenForm action was cancelled". My code is:
Private Sub lstSchool_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Dim test As String
Dim thisForm As String
thisForm = "frmRegister"
test = "ID = " & "'" & lstSchool & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm thisForm, , , test
End Sub
ID is a AutoNumber field. I have used this code in my other dbz and it works fine ....
Setup
i have a form (frmCustomers) with a subform (sfrmJobs). As you might have guessed, it keeps track of customers and jobs. One customer may have many jobs. within sfrmJobs are about 300 or so controls for about 300 or so fields (mostly yes/no boxes) and at the moment contains two subforms of its own. customers have an autonumber CustomerID and jobs have a user-entered numeric JobID.
Goal
it has been brought to my attention that some jobs may just not work out and must be deemed as "cancelled." however, my client wishes to retain these records rather than delete them. in order to maintain the integrity of the reports, i would like to remove these records from the non-cancelled customer database and place them elsewhere, but still retain the ability to review them if need be (but NOT to modify them).
Problem
the job can be cancelled at any point down the line, meaning that a job could have nearly no info or nearly all the info, and everything in between. each job record has a ton of fields. i don't know how to cut and paste an entire record (except for doing it field by field, which could take forever in this instance) into a new table. in this case, it would be several records, since i have a list of materials pertinent to each job as well as a list of services necessary for each job - all of which would have to be removed and placed elsewhere.
Cry for Help
what is the best way to go about this? some ideas i had were creating a parallel table for each table used in recording all of the job information and just manually (well, via VBA and recordsets) copying, pasting, then deleting. another is creating a checkbox that when clicked disables every control for the cancelled job (but oy vey that's a lot of controls to code the disabling for) and then have it reflected in my reports that these are only from the NON-cancelled jobs. does anyone else have an idea?
help?
thanks in advance

Just a quick one.
I'm not usre how to handle the error when cancelling a report. so when I hit a control to bring up a report and say I cancel it before I put in any parameters for example I get the dialog box " runtime error" "OpenReport action was cancelled" etc.
Could anyone help me on how to handle this with VBA so that it's at least a more user friendly dialog box?
thanks
I have a cancelled service that gives a -1 to an ISCANNED field for each EventDate after the date the services are cancelled. Now I am permitted to Delete all of the cancelled records except the Min() date that =-1.
I built a query to find the value for the First Event date that =-1. I then built a delete query to delete all records after the First Event date that =-1 but it had to Join the "Find the value of the First query" to get the table records to show the records that were going to be deleted.It cannot delete.
Is there a module or VB that can be used to make the delete query work without using the joined "Find the value of the First query"?Something that will say "delete all the records after the first cancelled record"
Hello people of access world forums. I've decided to design a simple access db with 2003 version but with 2000 compatibility and everything appear to work ok.
After designing and testing the db, I have set the Jet user-level security options as described in some documentation and set the startup options too for a "clean type" start. Everything is ok: I have created the workgroup in a new .mdw file, joined the workgroup, set the users, set the groups, protect the forms I wanted to. If I try to open the db, it asks for user and password and the db works as espected about security.
But if I delete, move or change the .mdw filename, the db turns accesible without the implemented security. Only the startup option works but no user is prompted and the protected items turns unprotected.
I would like to know how can I associate the .mdw to the .mdb so I can't access the .mdb if the .mdw file is not present (i.e. copying the .mdb to another computer or something).
Thanks in advanced.

I have a button on-click action of:
Code:
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "Bladereport", "PDFFormat(*.pdf)", , True, "", , acExportQualityPrint
It works perfectly with the box appearing to choose the directory and file name, having done this it then outputs perfectly.
However if you choose cancel at the file and directory selector box it crashes:
Run-time error '2501':
The OutputTo action was cancelled.
I'm working with an old database and I am getting this error. I have have access 2010. I starting to receive this error after I unlinked one of the tables.
Private Sub Command9_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command9_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
[Code] ....
I have validation on a checkbox on a sub form and after the validation fails and the cancel = true is executed in the before update event, I am unable to select the checkbox on the form. Access will not allow the selection. my subform is called frmContactType so hopefully I am referencing it correctly:
Me.frmContactType.Form.chkAssociate
One of the users of my application, reports an error when saving a report to pdf by VBA code. She’s using Access 2013, on Windows 8.1.
The error is “error 2501 output to action was cancelled with access vb macro”
The VBA code is
StrReport = “RepInvoice”
StrDocumentName = “C:UsersMaryDocumentsAccessInvoice.pdf”
DoCmd.OpenReport StrReport, acViewPreview
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, StrReport, "PDFFormat(*.pdf)", StrDocumentName, False
DoCmd.Close acReport, StrReport, acSaveNo
This error occurs at the OutputTo line. This code is part of an user form with a button “save as PDF”.
When this code is run, the report is visible as an example (as meant to be) on the screen. The code stops at the OutputTo line.
When I use
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, StrReport, acFormatPDF, StrDocumentName,, False
the problem still exists.
I tried to save the report manually by Preview > Export > PDF. The preview is OK, saving as PDF results in the same error 2501. This may lead to the conclusion that this problem is not caused by the VBA code.
I verified whether user write rights are OK, and whether a default printer is available. Both are OK. The report consists of 1 page.
When this very same application is used with Access 2010, everything functions as expected.
I am running a report from a form that is to produce an excel output:
Private Sub cmdTransferToExcel_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_CmdTransferToExcel_Click
Refresh
DoCmd.Hourglass True
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, "Temps_Margin_Output", acFormatXLS, [Forms]![Revenue_Output]![output], False
Exit_CmdTransferToExcel_Click:
DoCmd.Hourglass False
MsgBox "File Created", vbOKOnly
Exit Sub
Err_CmdTransferToExcel_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_CmdTransferToExcel_Click
End Sub
but receive an error "Invalid Operation"
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks
hello,
I have a table with "fieldA", "filedB", and "filedC". I want "fieldC" to be the result of multiplying "fieldA" and "filedB". How can I do this?? I don't want to have to type in the result in "fieldC", I want this to be done automatically when I fill up "fieldA" and "filedB."
thank you very much
I have a calculated query field that says this:
1 wk Wins: IIf(([1 week price]-[PRICE])/[PRICE]*100>=[s],1,0)
It prompt me for the variable [s] when I run it, as it should.
However, the results for whatever I type for [s] are not the same as the results if I just put the number in the query instead, ie:
1 wk Wins: IIf(([1 week price]-[PRICE])/[PRICE]*100>=5,1,0)
The above should return the same results as if I input 5 for the parameter prompt for [s], but they do not, and I cannot for the life of tell what Access is actually doing with the number I input for [s]. I cannot see a trend in its results from record to record, it just seems random.
Any thoughts on this appreciated.
thanks,
andrew
I have developed a MS-Access application for a small call-center (20 users).with approx 1500 customer-records to call everyday.
What I have done:
There are 20 front-ends residing at the Telecallers desktop and 1 database@server. Presently I am allocating 1500 records (clients send 1500 data everyday) everyday to 20 telecallers so that they get their respective calling details (75 records/telecaller). The no of cases that they need to call is predetermined.
They see cust-details and call up the customer manually.
What I intend to do:
I dont want to allocate records to telecallers. Instead, when they open the FE-screen they will get the record that is available. (Of course keeping in mind that no particular record is opened by more than 1 telecaller).
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated. Any idea will encourage me to make the application more pro.
Say I have a table full of tasks. Some tasks are performed each day (Mon-Fri, Friday only, Saturday only, etc). Each day someone has to mark which tasks were not completed, and move those to another table (?). Each task may have small changes to it (length of time, who performs the task, etc.).
There is one person tracking these 350 tasks per day, which they run a report generated from another server that tells them what wasn't completed.
I would like form to be able to show what was completed for the day (by basically subtracting what wasn't completed), as well as for a range of days.
Most of this I can do, but the basic problem is how to generate a "daily" schedule, or a list that he can select what wasn't done? I thought about make a table of days from now until about 2010, and make a query with no relationship so that it assigns a date to each entry (which creates several hundred thousand lines), but that wouldn't do because there can be change that occur for that task for one day or several months.
How does one handle reoccurring events like this? I've gotten fairly good with Access over the past several months, and 90% of what I want to do is no problem, but this one problem, with scheduling, is something I've never been able to figure out. I really need this for 3 separate projects!
The closest I've come is using an append query that pulls a date from a control on a form with a button press, and adds to a list of tasks, but I feel there should be a more elegant (and foolproof) option.
Hello,
I was hoping someone on this forum might be able to help me.
I am trying to update a table with info in another table, using a nested query.
strSQL = "UPDATE tblTemp SET AdminNum = '" & cboAdmin.Text & "', " & _
"Size = (SELECT Size FROM tblEquipList WHERE AdminNum = '" & cboAdmin.Text & "')"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
cboAdmin is a combo box on my form that is populated by tblEquipList.AdminNum.
When run this gives me:
Runtime Error '3073':
Operation must use an updateable query.
The SELECT statement works by itself, and the first part of the UPDATE (without the nested select) works by itself, but not when I combine them. I also need to update other things in the same manner in which Size is being updated, but when I can get this to work it shouldn't be a problem just added the updates for the other fields in there.
Thanks in advance,
Jeremiah
Edit:
Also, I figured I should add that when I remove the SELECT statment and put in a number (IE: Size = '400'), the query runs just fine. So I know the problem lies in the nesting, but am unsure how.
this is vexing me.
I have 4 tables, 2 entities, 1 relationship and 1 lookup
Entities are tblOrg and tblForm
Relationship is tblVentureParticipation
Lookup is tblInfo (Has many different lookups)
When an organization (these are listed in tblOrg) turns in a form, a new record is inserted into tblForm with the ID of that organization and the ID of the form
I want to identify the forms that have NOT been turned in.
So I figured
Step 1:
Identify all organizations who are participating (WHERE tblOrg.OrgID = tblVentureParticipation.OrgID)
Step 2:
Join all of the previously selected organizations with all of the forms (FROM tblOrg, tblInfo WHERE tblInfo.LookupID LIKE 'F##')
Step 3:
Remove all of the entries in tblForm that match the result of Step 2.
I have verified that both of these individual queries return the right information ...
I am asked to display this, "List the Client Numbers, Name, and Balance fields in the design grid. Sort the records in desending order by the Balance Field."
AND THIS: "Display the top 25%"
I need to know how to show the top "25%" when I press run, in the datasheet without manually having to arrange them.
I would love detailed instructions ASAP!
