AcHidden Not Working...

Jul 13, 2005

Hi all. I've searched the forums and can't find an answer to this I'm afraid... can someone help? I learned how to set a form as acHidden in my database so that I can check first that there are records matching the search-criteria and then make it visible if there are... However, it doesn't appear to be working for one of my forms... are there instances when a form won't appear as visible? On the form in question I have a couple of Call functions in the OnOpen action... would that interfere with it being 'hidden'?

Any help/ideas please?

Invalid Argument

Jul 25, 2005

Hi All,

I have 2 errored records in my large access database which I am unable to delete. As I scroll over either of these records I get the error "Invalid Argument" but the database is functional otherwise... Until Today!

Other users can get into the database but I get the "Invalid Argument" error before it even loads the main form.

Can anyone help please?

Many Thanks

Invalid Argument

Sep 17, 2007

I have a database that uses quite a lot of outside sources. There are multiple users and each one of us now are getting the invalid argument error. When we received it before it was because the DB was huge. It has since been made smaller. What are other reasons as to why we are getting this error again? We have to get out of the database, compact it and then go back in in order to do anything with it.

Please help! Thank you.

Open Argument

Oct 5, 2005

I have 3 forms that can only be accessed in series. (Meaning, form 1 -->2-->3). Form 1 displays a particular record with a Primary key. I want to be able to use displayed primary key for form 1 to search for form 2 record everytime form 2 is opened through form 1. And then use the same primary key to search for a form 3 record everytime form 3 is opened through form 2.
This is what i have been trying to use:
Sub OpenToCallahan()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmPage2", acNormal, , , acReadOnly, _
, Me.Programnumber
Dim strProgramnumber As String
strProgramnumber = Forms!frmPage2.OpenArgs
If Len(strProgramnumber) > 0 Then
DoCmd.GoToControl "Programnumber"
DoCmd.FindRecord strProgramnumber, , True, , True, , True
End If
End Sub

The error i get is "Can not use find or replace now"
any ideas?

Two Gig Limit - Invalid Argument On EVERYTHING

May 15, 2006

I've apparently hit the two gig limit in access. The database won't let me compact/repair. it wont let me save changes to tables. I can't open access by itself and repair the external table. I'm sure that the database could be shrunk down if I could get it to do the repair! I get an "Invalid Argument" error on everything I try to do.

Anyone experience this? Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Invalid Argument Message

Apr 6, 2007

I seem to be having some major problems with one of our tables.

Recently a table that has been fine for a long time has developed something corrupt, so it seems.

I found that the LAST entry in the table is nothing but #Error in every single field. When I open the table, I get 'Invalid Entry'. Clicking the 'Help' brings me to a page about 'Invalid Argument (Error 3001)'.

I have tried recreating the table, and copying back ALL the entries except for the #Error one... but the new table ALSO gives me the same message.

Has anyone seen this before? Is it corrupt data? Is it a corrupt table structure? What would be the best course of action to save the remaining data and get this table back to up and running?

Thank you all for your help,

Invalid Argument Error

Nov 11, 2005

I have a Form based on a Table of Clients, names and addresses etc. One of the records appears to be corrupt in some way because any time I attempt to access this record, either on the Table or in the Form, I receive an error message "Invalid Argument". The database then shows #Error in every Text Field and I am forced to CTRL Alt Del to close the Database. I cannot even access the record in order to delete it. Any ideas anyone? Thanks.

Wrong Type Of Data For An Argument...?

Nov 15, 2006

Hello,

I've been trying to modify a database I downloaded from the Microsoft site
entitled
'Inventory management database.mdb'. Using Macros developed by microsoft for their example database (which I've
modified) a macro opens up a list of reports - which can be individually opened up by
clicking on them. However, when I try to open up one of my reports which
appears on the list, I get the following error message:

"An expression you entered is the wrong data type for one of the arguments

You tried to run a macro or use a method to carry out am action, but an
expression
evaluated the wrong data type."

I guessed this meant I had perhaps specified the wrong datatype in my table,
rom where I had written my list of reports, but this all seemed okay when I
checked and compared it with the working original. I had specified text (and
autonumber for the report ID number)

Can anyone point me in the right direction with this?

Many thanks.

Adam

Access Issue, 'Invalid Argument'

Jan 14, 2008

This is my first time on this site. It seems everyone is very helpful here, and I thank you in advance for any advice you give me.

I am a sales manager of a small company and also provide as much IT support as possible. (and by as much as possible, it really isn't much) - We have been receiving an 'Invalid Argument' response each time we search for a new field in any Form or try to pull any Reports. The error message appears twice when running a search in the Forms, then the searched for account appears. When attempting to pull as specific Report, the error message is given, then nothing happens. At this time, we are unable to run any Reports.

I have read that this can happen when your Access database is too large. I don't think that is the issue, it is 1.33KB.
Also - I cannot compact and repair the database.

Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!

Invalid Argument Error Message

Mar 3, 2006

I have a Access 2000 database that occasionally has a popup message "Invalid Argument", which prevents me from running any action queries or codes. Also another Access 2000 database that has the same "Invalid Argument" error from which prevents me to import the tables to another database.

Do anybody know WHY does the error happen? WHAT does it mean? and HOW we fix it??

Please help. Thanks so much

Modules & VBA :: Argument In Custom Function

Jun 6, 2014

I'm having a problem with argument in custom function..My table is like this:

myValues
123.5
32.7
65.8
11.1

What I want to achieve is to multiply each value with the average of all values, so that at the end I get (avg(myValues) = 233.1):

myValues2
7196.963
1905.593
3834.495
646.8525

For this I would like to have a function (this is simplified example of bigger problem, that is why I need function, otherwise simple SQL would suffice as mentioned below also), so that I could do something like this:

'SELECT TestFn([myValues]) as myValues2 From MyTable' or
'SELECT TestFn("[myValues]") as myValues2 From MyTable'

and I should get the table above.

My code is like this

Code:

Public Function TestFn (FieldName) as String
Dim myAvg as Double
myAvg = Davg(FieldName, "myTable")
TestFn = FieldName * myAvg
End Function

I understand the problem is that Davg needs string, but if I change to string then the multiplication does not work. The 'FieldName' parameter does not have a Type specified because that is where the problem is if I give string Avg works ,but calculation does not. If I give Number, avg does not work.

P.S. "as String" at the end of function is not a mistake, I need number as a string

P.P.S I did not inculde NZ either as in my example it can never be Null.

Modules & VBA :: Function Not Returning Argument

Jan 13, 2015

I have just added a function to a database to strip out any commas or quotation marks from a passed string.

However, it is returning a black string even though when I step through the function it creates the out string correctly and the variable "OutString" is populated when the Exit Function command is executed.

Calling code.
InString = Btxt
OutString = ""
Call Strip_String(InString, OutString)
SBtxt = OutString

Modules & VBA :: Drop Table Using If Argument

Oct 1, 2013

1) I want to figure out how I can drop a table using "if argument". If the table exists then drop table, if not exists do something else.

2) I want to figure out (ALSO) how I can drop a column using "if argument". If the column exists then drop column, if not exists do something else.

I wrote something but is not enough..I can't find more clear information about that.

Function first()
On Error GoTo Macro1_Err
Dim BD1 As Recordset
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
Set BD1 = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("BD_example table")

General :: Argument Not Optional For Field

Apr 24, 2015

I have a subform and when you double click on any field it remembers 3 fields from the record you are in and stores them. I have 3 fields called [section], [losthrs], [stdhrs]. It works perfectly and stores the data from [losthrs] and [stdhrs] fields, but throws up "Argument not optional" for the [section] field.... Can not see a reason why, it is just a simple text field...

I have even tried 'pausing the code' and using the immediate window to show the field values, again losthrs and stdhrs are fine, section gives "Argument not optional".

Object Type Argument Blank Or Invalid

Apr 26, 2005

I have a macro run from an autokey (F12) that uses SendTo to send the current report that's on screen to an email as an attachment. This has been working perfectly for years and all of a sudden when I hit the F12 key I get:
The Object Type argument for the action or method is blank or invalid.
It's fine to just right click the report and use Send To but this is a pain for my users who just want to hit F12 as before.

Anybody help?

Thanks

Help Needed!! (Invalid Procedure Call Or Argument)

Apr 18, 2006

Hi, in need of some help I'm at my wits end!!

I'm getting "Invalid procedure call or argument" pop up whenever my database uses any of the code. Any form that uses code in the Form_Open section now won't open etc.

This now effects all my forms, i'm 99% sure that i haven't changed anything and have no idea why its happening.

It doesn't seem to matter whether its clicking a button or opening a form it happens for any piece of code.

Anyone have any ideas

Thanks in advance

Invalid Argument - Caanot Delete Records

Feb 28, 2008

I have a split database with the back end sitting on a server.

I tried to delete two records (as i have done many times before) and now the fields are just filled with Error#. when I try and delete them from the table one at a time it comes up with Invalid argument (Error 3001) and then Access quits on me. I have tried everything I can think of - compact and repair, trying to copy the table, using all the fields in a make-table query to try and duplicate the table, moving the table off the server to my desktop and then trying to fix it, exporting to an Excel spreadsheet, trying a maketable query excluding these two records...but nothing works.

Any ideas at all at how I can get around this???
