Countdown
Feb 4, 2006I am creating a databse to help people with course registration. I have a form (Classes) and a sub form (Classes Subform). In the classes subform I have the following fields:
StudentID
Major
PhoneNumber
Grade
On the Classes form I have two fields I am concerened about. Seats and a field called Open Seats. If I set the number of Seats (Seats) to 31, I would like 31 to appear in my open seats field. As I add students to the Classes Subform (New Records) I would like open seats to decrease by one. I've seen this done, but have no idea how.
Once this is figured out, Is it possible for the form to automatically change my Status field from Open to Closed?

Countdown Dates

View 1 Replies View RelatedRemote Close After Countdown?
Oct 13, 2004I have two databases; a server and a client. The server houses all of the tables, while the client has the tables linked and serves primarily as a form for users to enter data to the main table. Periodically I update the form, so I would like to be able to shut down each client while I upload the new files to update the client. Here is my thinking:
I have a table in server.mdb called admin with 3 columns and one record.
The fields are:
closex (text) - This will be populated when I want to send the close countdown command.
message (text) - The string I want to display in a warning popup box.
Timer (integer) - The time in seconds before the program will close.
Right now I have a hidden LIST box in the form (closemsg) that is bound to column 1 and column count=3.
Me.closemsg.column(0) is closex
Me.closemsg.column(1) is message
Me.closemsg.column(2) is timer
The box is requeryed every 2 seconds to check and see if the table has been updated along with another line of code that keeps the time current until someone starts to enter a record.
I have a macro that will perform the close operation. Here is the code I have thus far....any help would be greatly appreciated.
___________________________________________
Private Sub Form_Timer()
'Updates the Time to Current
If (IsNull(Agent)) Then
Me!Call_Time = Time()
End If
'Checks for updated values in Admin Table
Me.closemsg.Requery
' -------------
'| Force Close |
' -------------
'Message Variable from T.Admin
Dim message As String
'Timer Variable from T.Admin
Dim timer As Integer
'Macro Variable to Close App
Dim macroname As String
macroname = "Closeapp"
'Check to see if T.Admin has changed
If (IsNull(Me.closemsg.Column(0))) Then
Else
message = Me.closemsg.Column(1)
timer = Me.closemsg.Column(2)
'Set Timer
timer = timer * 1000
'Notify User
MsgBox message
Count:
timer = timer - 1
If timer > 0 Then
GoTo Count
Else
DoCmd.RunMacro macroname

Kind Of Countdown Reminder In A Date Column
Jun 29, 2007hey,
Sorry to open with a question but its usually the way, i'm quite an experienced computer user but never used any office products before and just thought i should learn as i'm losing money every week by not keep track of things properly.
So then to my question..
I've made a table to cover all the orders i have had placed, this includes a date column for when that order was placed. I just wondered if it would be possible to have some kind of system where after 7 days without any acknowledgement from me it either pops up or turns red or something similiar. I'm thinking the acknowledgement could be the yes/no box and i tick that when i recieve the item back, if i dont it either pops up or turns red or something :confused:
any help much appreciated
General :: Countdown Timer On Form Using Different DateDiff
Jul 31, 2012I have created a countdown counter on a form using different Datediff's so to split the renaining time into days, hours, minutes and seconds.
The Datediff compares Now() to a text box called txt.Leaving which has a date/time unputted via a table (Format: General Date)
However the seconds and minutes work ok but the hours and days dont count down inline with the minutes and seconds reducing. The hours do alter when the minutes are 13 mins into the new hour. This would seem to point possibly to rounding off but I would expect that further into the hour.
Below is the Datediff that is set as the control source in a text box and the form it sits on has its timer set to 1000 and the event requeries the text box.
=DateDiff("d",Now(),[txt.Leaving]) & "d, " & DateDiff("h",Now(),[txt.Leaving]) Mod 24 & "h, " & DateDiff("n",Now(),[txt.Leaving]) Mod 60 & "m, " & DateDiff("s",Now(),[txt.Leaving]) Mod 60 & "s"
Using Access 2000.
Modules & VBA :: Outlook Starts Countdown When Sending Email
Aug 27, 2014I have access db sending report with outlook every Monday.
But the problem is if outlook is open when I start the db, email goes in to outgoing folder and msg box of outlook opens saying " outlook will close after countdown if I do not hit the "DO NOT EXIT" button or "EXIT AND SEND LATER" button.
If I hit "EXIT AND SEND LATER" button, it sends next time I open the outlook.
Is it possible to prevent outlook doing this?

SetValue Action Help!
Aug 16, 2004I have set up a form to use for entering and specifying report criteria. I followed the instructions from general Access help. Everything worked fine in MS Access 2000. Now, I've transferred the database to a computer using MS Access 2003 and I get and error that says, "You entered an expression that has an invalid reference to the property Visible. The property may not exist or not apply to the object you specified." If I change the Macro for the "OK" button from Action="SetValue", Item="[Visible]", and Expression="No" to Action="SetValue", Item="[Forms]![frmParameterQuery].[Visible]", and Expression="False", which I though may be the correct way to enter this for the newer 2003 version of Access, then I get a different error message that reads, "You don't have the license required to use this ActiveX control. You tried to open a form containing an OLE Object or an ActiveX control or you tried to create an ActiveX control. To obtain the appropriate license, contact the company that provides the licensed OLE Object or ActiveX control" Please help!

Aug 17, 2011I have a form that has multiple text boxes. Was trying to add an Undo button that behaves exactly the same as the (Ctrl+Z) or the undo button used in microsoft access, word, excel ..etc. as it only undos one action in a click. When added the undo button i used just a normal button and added a code to it. if i type in different text boxes and press on the undo button it undos everything modified since the form was opened. Is there a way to change that ?

View 6 Replies View RelatedForm Not Saving From VB Action
Sep 5, 2006Hi,
On my Form I have a Label (Recnote) which gets changed by the VB code if criterior is true. My form does change this correctly however, once I quit (or close the Form) and come back, the changes dissappear.
But the strange thing is that every now and then it does save it.
Any ideas??? Any other command I should use?
The following works as it disables my Import button and changes the Label contents but does not save when exited
Private Sub CloseME_Click()
DoCmd.Requery
If [CountOfOracle Co] = 0 Then
MsgBox "Cannot Close ME Yet", vbOKOnly, "Circular Rec"
Else
Me.Recnote.BackColor = 65535
Me.Recnote.Caption = "Final Reconciliation"
Me.Recnote.ForeColor = 32768
Me.Import.Enabled = False
DoCmd.RepaintObject
DoCmd.Save
End If

The Command Or Action ApplyFilterSort Isn't Available Now.
Jun 17, 2005I have created a search window that looks up certain invoicereport by invoice No. I have used this search method in other forms and has worked successfully!
However,
after I created the same thing for a report, I get this message: The Command or Action 'ApplyFilterSort' isn't available now.
I really don't understand the problem.
txtSearch = a textbox where user can type in any value to lookup a certain report.
rptInvoice = where I want the search to be placed.
fraSearch = an option group with (Starts with...,Contains...,Ends with..., Equals...)
InvoiceNo = the txtField in rptInvoice.
this is what I wrote for the cmdSearch button:
Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdSearch_Click
Dim strFilter As String
Dim strInvoiceno As String
' Check that the report is open
If SysCmd(acSysCmdGetObjectState, acReport, "rptInvoice") <> acObjStateOpen Then
MsgBox "You must open the report first."
Exit Sub
End If
' Build InvoiceNo criteria string
If IsNull(Me.txtSearch.Value) Then
strInvoiceno = "Like '*'"
Else
Select Case Me.fraSearch.Value
Case 1
strInvoiceno = "Like '" & Me.txtSearch.Value & "*'"
Case 2
strInvoiceno = "Like '*" & Me.txtSearch.Value & "*'"
Case 3
strInvoiceno = "Like '*" & Me.txtSearch.Value & "'"
Case 4
strInvoiceno = "= '" & Me.txtSearch.Value & "'"
End Select
End If
' Build filter string
strFilter = "[invoiceNo] " & strInvoiceno
' Apply filter to report
With Reports![rptInvoice]
.Filter = strFilter
.FilterOn = True
End With

Forms :: Command Or Action Not Available Now
Jul 11, 2014I have a form for users to be able to delete or edit records. I have 2 command buttons (Delete and Save), when I click on them I get this error "the command or action is not available now"... It was working fine before but for some reasons it stopped. Even two other buttons actioned by vba codes do not work (No message popping up for these 2)
I checked:
Allow Additions: Yes
Allow Deletions: Yes
Allow Edits: Yes
Nothing is blocked or locked.
I think it has to do with the query my form is based on, as I tried a dummy form based on a table and the button worked fine...? I tried re-creating query+form and no luck. I did remove a field from my query at some point this morning, not sure if this might be the cause of issue, as this field was not connected to anything in my form.
General :: Repeat Same Action But For Different Row?
Mar 27, 2013I have an Access Form called Database_Form, with a text box called Text22, and a button called Command42.
I also have a table, and query, as following:
Table 1, as in the below example:
Row_Number as Column header, and values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, as rows.
Column1 as Column header, and values 0026007101, 0026007102, 0026007103, 0026007104, 0026007105, as rows.
Query 2, which has the criteria [Forms]![Database_Form]![Text22] for Row_Number Field.
Basically, i want that each time when i press the button Command42 and having the text box filled with value 1 (for row number 1), to repeat this step, but taking the next row_number and so on, until it finishes the last row.
The Query 2, should sequentially select the row number given in the text box, based on a VBA Code or something.
Is there any VBA code in order to achieve this ?

Action Query Warning Trapping
Nov 7, 2006Hi there,
I like having the action query warning appear with what I am doing - "You are about to update xxx rows". The problem that I am having is that when my RunSQL statement in the code executes and selects no to the warning, I get the error -
Run-time Error '2501'
The RunSQL action was canceled.
How can I trap the no selection so that this vba error does not appear?
Confirm Action Queries In Runtime
Mar 3, 2008I use the Access 2007 runtime to run my Access database on a few client machines. How do I turn off the confirmation of Action Queries? On clients that are also running MS Access, I can simply open Access, go to Access Options and uncheck the box. When I make this change in Access, the same settings apply for the Runtime on that computer. Which makes me think perhaps there is a registry entry I can modify someplace? If anyone has an idea as to how to turn this off for the runtime please let me know.
Thanks!

Problems With Find Record Action
Jan 18, 2006i have an issue with the find record functionality
i have a main form that has a search button which works fine
i have a link to a popup form which in turn also has a search button but clicking this produces an error as below
run time error 2046
the issue seems to be the caused by the fact that the main form is still running in the background - if i open the popup form directly the search works fine
is there a way to get the search going on the po up form with the main form still running in the background?
