Control Tip Delay

Apr 6, 2005

I'd appreciate it if anyone could tell me how to edit the control tip delay in form design: ie: so as the controltip comes up much sooner than the default set by access?
many thanks

Combobox Delay

May 22, 2005

I have a large Access application with several forms and modules. The form works fine and quickly. I have a combobox which queries the database containing 30,000 entries. This combobox is delayed in populating. So that if the user types into it the characters don't display for a couple of seconds. Is there anything to do to spped up the combobox? There is a join in the query so I removed it. It did not improve the delay.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Delay Form_Current() ?

Jun 8, 2005

Is it possible to delay the Form_Current event? I use the code below to duplicate records, ask for a change in teh reference number and then resort the database according to the reference numbers. This works fine until I introduce some code into a Form_Current procedure. Now whenever I activate the macro below to copy a record the data in the copy record is wiped out and the form rendered with its defaul values. I am assuming this is because the code in the Form_Current section is rendering the form whilst something else is trying to paste values in it so is ther a way to delay either the pasting of the new data or the activation of the Form_Current procedure?

I have tried using a few basic counters but to no avail! Any help would be greatly appreciatted.

Cheers

Pausing / Time Delay

Sep 30, 2005

I have some code that is running in a FOR NEXT loop. I am calling another form each pass of the loop. For some reason the form does not fully come up, the box and header text come up but nothing inside the Form.... Any thoughts.....

At the end I want to display another Form that confirms the updates/calculations. But I want the Form to close after say 2-3 seconds. I tried a wait function but that does not allow the form to fully open as above....the wait function is waiting for the time i want but it again does not allow the form to open....it waits and then the form closes, never showing what is in the form?

Does anyone know how I could open a form display some information and then have it automatically close after a few seconds.

I call the Function TIMEDELAY below which is calling the Function Wait....Once in TIMEDELAY it opens the form and then supposed to wait then close....but the form never fully opens? .....

Citrix, Opening A Database, Incurs Delay?

Jun 13, 2006

Hi Guys,

Got something which has been bugging me like mad for weeks now;

We have a MS Access Database on a Citrix server and a local copy is downloaded to the clients directory when they log on.

When they actually double click and load the database(frontend) it loads for approx 4/5mins before it eventually opens. After that it is fine, unless they log off and back on again, then the same thing happens when they double click to open the database.

The Backend is stored on a seperate server with over 5million records on it.

Before we attempted Citrix we had a normal network and the frontend has always loaded fine on this.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Modules & VBA :: Delay Report Opening Until Parameters Are Chosen

Dec 22, 2014

I have a command button (well, I have a few) that I would like to open a report, first opening a form that allows the user to enter a start and end date.

The code so far is:

On Error Resume Next
If Err = 2501 Then Err.Clear
DoCmd.OpenForm "DateSelect", acNormal
DoCmd.OpenReport "All Events Report", acPreview

Now, when run, this code opens the form (DateSelect), but the report starts to run immediately - the On No Data event of the report kicks in (message box along the lines of "No data, closing report", so before the user has the opportunity to enter the dates, the report has decided that there is no data an closes.

Is there a way to pause the opening of the report until after the OK button is clicked on the pop up form?

Just for the sake of clarity, the pop-up form DateSelect is used to open various reports, so I can't add the open report command to the code for the OK button (that I know of?)

General :: Delay When Field Is Updated And Form Is Re-queried

Jun 15, 2015

I have a continuous form with an SQL query as its record source, it is a dynaset. Each row on the form is for a specific picture, containing a unique ID, a pre-generated caption field, and an official caption field. The idea is that users will edit the pre-generated caption field, hit a button, then their changes to the pregenerate caption will be made to the value of the official caption field.

My VBA code for the button works fine, in that it doesn't return any errors. The problem is that there is some sort of delay between when the button is hit and when the official caption field is updated. After the first press, the form requeries and the official caption field is the same, but after a second press the official caption field will display the user's changes.

First, a recordset clone is created using an SQL query, the pre-generated caption column is selected and then the results are filtered to the single record that shares the picture ID of whatever row the user was working in. Next, an SQL update runs, replacing the value of the official caption field with the value of the pre-generated caption that is contained in the recordset clone. Then the form is requeried.

I've tried adding a change of focus at the beginning of the code and a 15 second pause between when the update statement runs and when the form is requeried, neither solves the issue. The problem can't entirely be my code, because a second press of the button will make the appropriate changes.

I know what you're thinking, why have divide the captions into pre-generated and official in the first place - why not use pre-generated caption as the caption source? There is a separate feature that allows a user to mass edit captions and I decided to retain the original pre-generated caption as a field, in the event that the user makes a mistake or decides to reference the content of the pre-generated caption.

Modules & VBA :: How To Delay A Query But Continue To Enter Data

Jul 23, 2015

I am using Access 2007 & trying to update a database to include a check & balance.

Currently a user enters their name into a form, selects a check box (Pass or Fail) & clicks a save button. Real simple form. The actual testing is performed on a standalone piece of equipment separate or outside of the MS Access database.

Here is the challenge, if someone does select Fail, I want to ensure this person comes back into a blank form (new entry) & confirms they have eventually passed. I want to give a time limit of 10 minutes before an email is sent out to their superiors. (I have the email portion figured out already).

Other entries will take place before the failed user comes back to the entry form so the form needs to be available for other people to enter their results.

I believe this can be done using some VBA and a query but I am not sure where to start especially with the 10 minute allowance to recheck the test status.

Forms :: Invalid Control Property - Control Source

Sep 24, 2013

I added a new field to one of my tables and query, but when I try to add a control for that field into my form it is not recognising it and the field isn't appearing in the sources for the form, even though the table is sourced to the form? Or am I going to have to do the usual and redo the entire form because I made a minor adjustment?

Forms :: Web Browser Control Inside A Tab Control Display

Jun 18, 2014

I have a form with a tab control, inside the tab control I placed an ActiveX control (Microsoft Web Browser). These are at the bottom of the form.

Everything displays fine if the entire form fit on the screen but if the form is too long and I scroll down the browser control is getting obscured by the tab control and getting chopped off (the contents are covered). It is as if the browser control is staying in space where it was and moving behind the tab control as I scroll.

This problem does not occur if I place the browser control directly on the form. Also I note that the browser control is sitting correctly within the tab control.

I have been through all the settings and properties of both controls and haven't been able to fix it. I searched all over the web but no one has previously stumbled across this one by the look of it.

See the attached image ...

New Field Does Not Show In Control Source For Form Control

May 28, 2015

I have table that I had to add a new field to which we update with a form. I tried to add a control for the new field but the field does not show up in the list for the control source. I am trying to add a list box to the form with a blank and 5 options.

I have attached screen shots of the table design and the form. The table has the field in datasheet view and I have manually entered a few entries in it but it still will not show in the control source for the form control. The top section of the form is where we enter and select the data for the new records. The bottom section (circled in red) autofills the matching record, from separate tables, for updating with the new entries.

I have added form controls for modified fields in the past so I am confused about why this is happening.

Reference A Control On A Subform In A Tab Control!

Aug 3, 2006

OK. I have searched and searched and every thread dances around similar situations but none seem to address this particular one. I am trying to make a control on a sub form visible/not visible depending on the condition of a control on a main form. The catch is that the control I'm trying to change the state of is on a subform located in a tab control. I've tried a thousand combinations and none seem to work. How do I reference the control on the subform in a tab control?

Main Form: frmMemberMain
Tab Control: TabCtl12
Tab Control Page: 2
Subform: frmChildren
Control on subform: txtRelationship

Can someone please help before my brain explodes!! Thanks! :eek:

Control Validation For 1st Control

May 17, 2006

Hi,

I have reviewed the posts for 'Control Validation' and dowloaded the sample database kindly posted by ansentry.

In the PaymentAmount example, a name has to be entered in the first control before an amount is enterered in the second control. If the controls and tab order are reversed, the validation doesn't work.

I have a form where the 1st Control needs validating before moving on. The code below doesn't work.

Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.Employee_No) Then
MsgBox "Employee No Required", vbCritical, "Data required "
Cancel = True
Me.Employee_No.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If

End Sub


Any help greatly appreciated.

Tab Control Within Tab Control

Sep 12, 2005

This seems like it would be easy enough, but I can't seem to find an answer. I'd like to put a tab control on one page of a main tab control. I've tried to select the page and create a new tab control and cut and paste existing tab control, but in both cases the tab control pastes into the detail section of the form (where my main tab control is) and thus appears on all pages. Anyone know what I need to do? Thanks for any help.
