Error Handling - Enough To Put In On Error Event

Sep 24, 2005

Every form has an on error property.

Is it enough for error handling to code the on error property for each form?
With enough I mean error handling which lets you resume the program.

Ontherwise I have to code (or call a procedure) for each coded event which i wouldn't prefer

For instance now I'm putting error handling in each event but would consider it more efficient if it can be placed once in each form
Private Sub cmdReport_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdReport_Click

Dim stDocName As String

stDocName = "rptOfme"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview

Exit_cmdReport_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_cmdReport_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdReport_Click

End Sub

Error Handling

Nov 23, 2006

I have recently upsized an Access database to SQL Server. The .adp is for the most part working fine.

However, when an end user tries to create a duplicate record in one of the Primary key columns of a Form he gets a SQL Server error message as follows:

"Violation of Primary Key constraint. Cannot insert duplicate key in object myTable".

This is obviously not a very useful error message. What would be the best way to ensure that a more useful error message is returned?

I have considered adding code to the "After_Update" event of the cell in question. This however seems long winded. Is there an easier option?

Thanks

Error Handling

May 12, 2005

Hi all

The following code only half works. I want to stop an ugly error occuring when primary keys are duplicated. In the following code the error handler picks up and displays a simple message when a user attempts to add duplicate values. BUT if the users adds a record, the record is successfully added followed with the same error message. I think I've put the error handler in the wrong place, but I can't figure out where it should go. Any ideas are much appreciated.

Damon

Private Sub cmdUpdateGoMaths_Click()
'update Go Maths

On Error GoTo error

Dim adors As ADODB.Recordset
Dim sSQL As String

' sSQL = "Select * from datGoMaths;"

' Set rsADO = New ADODB.Recordset
' rsADO.Open sSQL, CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenKeyset, adLockBatchOptimistic

sSQL = "dataGoMaths"
Set adors = New ADODB.Recordset
adors.Open sSQL, CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic

With adors

Error Handling Problem

Aug 8, 2006

On a form i have a textbox to enter a date and multiple command buttons to open other forms.
After entering a date value, followed by either a tab or clicking on one of the command buttons, i want to validate the entered date value. If the date is invalid i want to display an error message and the cursor positioned on the textbox field.

The LostFocus event of the textbox is as follows:

Private Sub txtDateField_LostFocus()
If Not IsDate(txtDateField.Value) Then
MsgBox "Date invalid."
txtDateField.SetFocus
End If
End Sub

If entering an invalid date is followed by a tab, the error is displayed but the cursor is not positioned on the textbox field.
If entering an invalid date is followed by clicking on one of the command buttons, the error is displayed but the expected form is opened.
How to position the cursor appropriate and how to prevent opening the form?

Who helps?

Error-Handling Help Needed

Oct 25, 2006

How do you do an Access/VBE split screen? I want to be able to watch the code execute as I enter data into the form.

I have redesigned a database, essentially building a new one from scratch. I have all of the forms created and they are working beautifully. :) Now, I'm error-handling to create user-friendly messages. I have a superb Access programming book, but it only briefly mentions error handling and doesn't describe at all how to do it. Most of my forms are pretty simple, and I've been able to complete all of the error-handling tasks using the Form Error event as well as coding other events with the error message number. However, the main form is complex and includes a function in a standard code module and a custom sub routine.


TIA!

Modules & VBA :: Error Handling With Loop

Aug 6, 2015

I've got a problem with a loop for producing worksheets (reports). When everything works there's no problem but when one of the reports namely rptChemoOralWorksheet doesn't have data available to produce the report the loop finishes and then all remaining worksheets don't print.I've put in a standard error handler with MsgBox, but it's never triggered. I've also tried

Code:
On Error Resume Next

but again rather than skip the DoCmd.OpenReport "rptChemoOralWorksheet" (when the error is present) and move to the next one to continue printing through the list the loop stops and the subsequent code starts to run.

Code:
Dim mydatabase As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set mydatabase = CurrentDb
Set rst = mydatabase.OpenRecordset("atblChemoWSLoop", dbOpenDynaset)
Dim rsBN As String
Dim rsDose As Double

Error Handling For ODBC Linked Tables

Jan 17, 2006

My tables are sybase linked tables to my Access front end. I get this error whenever i click away from my mainform while my not-null fields (textboxes) have not been entered. So, i would like to put an error message "somewhere" that tells the user to fill in the necessary fields and highlight the necessary textboxes in red, instead of this scary ODBC message
http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/6829/error0el.png :eek: :eek:

When i put my error handling in the afterUpdate or afterInsert Event. I still get the above error msg instead of my msgbox.
Where do i put this message? or should be question be, "what the proper way to handle this intimidating error? :)

Here's my error handling:

On Error GoTo Err_Form_AfterInsert

'do something


Exit_Form_AfterInsert:
Exit Sub

Err_Form_AfterInsert:
MsgBox Err.Description, vbExclamation, "Please enter the Project Name, Project Leader Initials, Main User and Status Code" & Err.Number
Me!Combo67.BackColor = "red"
Me!Combo65.BackColor = "red"
Me![Project Name].BackColor = "red"
Me![Project Leader Initials Combo].BackColor = "red"
Resume Exit_Form_AfterInsert


Thanks in advance for your help :D

Error Handling When LostFocus Doesn't Work

Jun 7, 2006

Hi, hope somebody can help with this problem.

I have a med-large db shared on network. Am under some pressure to split front/back so more people can do data entry, but want the forms to be semi-finished before putting them on everybody's c:drive.

The problem is error handling for required fields. Some fields are required in the underlying tables because if users don't fill them in, reports are useless. But Access error msg for required fields are too strange, users just close down, maybe wrecking the thing. Don't want to eliminate Close button yet in case they get stuck in Access hell.

I got one ( !! ) field locked in well using LostFocus event, but what do you do if users just mouse into fields at random? LostFocus won't work if it never had focus, right?

(Would much prefer to just use unbound form and give choice of "Field is required" and "OK" or "Cancel this record" but realize that's asking for a lot of help here.)

Any assistance you can offer would be MUCH appreciated!! Vba course isn't until July.

Thanks,

Queries :: Error Handling In A Query That Was Run From A Macro

Aug 19, 2013

(I'm not sure if this belongs in the macro or query forum)

I have a macro that opens 15 queries and ends with opening a report.

The final query asks the user to type in beginning date, then an end date. Now when there's a data mismatch (i.e., he spells feburary), the macro halts. No harm no foul, they can just click the command button again, but I'd rather not.

What I'd like to do is place a msgbox (i.e., "Check Your Spelling") and then reroute them back to the query.

Modules & VBA :: Error Handling / Loop / External Paths

Aug 14, 2014

I am setting up a form to send multiple attachments to an email.I have a query "qry_DwgEmail" that has an ID and a path column. On the form I have a button with the code below in the Click Event.The code below all works fine unless the path is incorrect, so I would like some error handling to be able to either:

1) Stop the code from running and display a message box with my message.
2) Continue the loop and then have the message box display what files could not be found (Preferred).

Note, the following code was taken from one of the forums I am not 100% on what it all means.

Code:
Private Sub btn_CreateEmail_Click()
Dim MyDB As Database
Dim MyRS As Recordset
Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim objOutlookMsg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim objOutlookAttach As Outlook.Attachment
Dim TheAttachment As String

Poor Error Handling In Access - It's Like Going Back In Time. Anyone Agree?

Sep 22, 2005

I'm sick of the lame excuse for error messages that Access gives out.. I'm talking about 'Overflow', 'invalid use of Null' and such like.

What about telling you what field/expression caused the error and on what record if applicable.

It's so frustrating - Access obviously knows what caused the error but refuses to tell you so you have to go through the annoying process of taking out fields one by one (when in query view).

Does anyone agree that they need to make the error handling in Access much better?

Thanks for any interest in my post.

Modules & VBA :: Running Multiple Queries In A Routine - Error Handling

Oct 9, 2013

I am using access 2010. I use basic error handling in my routines:

Code:
On Error GoTo errHandler ... exitHere: ... errHandler: MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description

The problem is lately; while testing I am running multiple queries in a routine. When it fails; its hard to identify which query has the problem. So I hit control break; debug and try to find it. After I fix it; I debug and reset; i get this continuing hourglass thing in the form of a spinning circle until I close and reopen the database. I think I need better error handling but not something really complicated because I need to put it in quite a few routines throughout the database.

General :: Handling Error Database Engine Cannot Find Record

Jul 8, 2013

how to deal with errors specifically with error "The Microsoft Access database engine cannot find a record in table".Database which I'm creating have table Products, which contains information about products. Most important information in this table is if product is VATable or not. I decided to define product names in invoice table that database can recognize products and calculate VAT in invoices if product is VATable. Problem starts if you have new product. When I add new product in invoice it counts VAT but when i go to next record I receive message mentioned above. It doesn't allows me to go to next record or save record.

I was wondering is it possible to make it that access allows to fill invoice, informs about new products only when i have finished adding all products in invoice and than gives opportunity to add them to product list?

Runtime Error '-2147352567 On BeforeUpdate Event

Mar 30, 2005

I've got a form with Text boxes StartDate (datatype = Date / Time) and Interval (datatype = Numeric).
Both text boxes are bound controls.

I'd like to validate whether summing the StartDate with the Interval entered results in a calculated date, falling on either Saturday or Sunday.
If so, the Interval needs to be reset so that the calculated day will fall on the first Monday falling after the StartDate.

The code I've got so far results in an error:

Run-time error '-2147352567 (80020009):

The macro or function set to the BeforeUpdate or ValidationRule property for this field is preventing Microsoft Access from saving the data in the field.

I can understand why this error is generated.
What I can't figure out is how to adapt the code.
The AfterUpdate event is no option as this is triggered too late...

BTW, I'm on Access2000

Here's the code I've got so far:

Private Sub Interval_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)

Dim Response
Dim strInterval As Integer

If Weekday(Me.Startdatum + Me.Interval, vbMonday) = 6 Or Weekday(Me.Startdatum + Me.Interval, vbMonday) = 7 Then
Response = MsgBox("Eerstvolgende klusdatum valt in het weekend, laten vallen op maandag?", vbYesNo)
End If
If Response = vbYes Then
strInterval = 8 - Weekday(Me.Startdatum, vbMonday)
Me.Interval = strInterval
Else
If Response = vbNo Then
Me.Undo
End If
End If

End Sub

Problem With "on Error" Handling

Mar 29, 2006

In Microsoft Access 2002 I have a routine to add or edit an entry in a table. Because it is a multi user environment, there is a possibility, that someone else is currently editing the very same entry of the same table. Therefore I do an error handling with a message box appearing in case of an error to tell the user that this entry is currently locked. The user then has the choice of "cancel" or "retry". There is no problem with cancel, but if retry is selected, I repeat to edit the entry once more. Now, if the entry still is locked, I do not end of in the error routine again, and I get a runtime-error with the "update" command and exit the routine. It looks like the "on error goto Write_Err" command is ignored in the second go. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? Here is the code I'm using:

Set ds = db.OpenRecordset("T_TeilResultate", dbOpenDynaset)
Temp = "((Fehlernummer = 1) AND (Resultat = " & ResultatID & "))"
ds.FindFirst (Temp)
If ds.NoMatch Then
ds.AddNew
ds!Resultat = ResultatID
ds!Status = 2 '2 entspricht FAIL'
ds!Fehlernummer = FLogID
ds.Update
ds.Bookmark = ds.LastModified
Else
'Es existiert ein Teilresultat mit Fehlerlog 1 das editiert wird'
Do
Writeok = False
'Form_F_NeueTeilresultate.RecordLocks = 2
ds.LockEdits = False
ds.Edit
ds!Status = 2
ds!Fehlernummer = FLogID
On Error GoTo Write_Err
'here is the problem if the loop runs twice!'
ds.Update
ds.Bookmark = ds.LastModified
ok = True
Writeok = True
Write_Err:
If Writeok = False Then
ds.CancelUpdate
Antwort = MsgBox("Table is currently locked!", vbRetryCancel)
If Antwort = vbCancel Then Writeok = True
ok = False
End If
Loop Until Writeok
End If


Thanks for any advice.

Modules & VBA :: How To Access Description Inside Form Error Event

Jul 31, 2013

I'm trying to extract information from Err.Description within a form's Error event. Alas, Err.Description does not seem to be available from there.I have a form that normally displays in DataSheet view. If a trigger on the Oracle back-end raises an error, I want my Access app to be able to parse out Err.Description and deliver a more user-friendly message than ODBC's message. I want to get the info about the message from the error coming back from Oracle, not by matching up error codes.

If I change the form to Single-Form view and put a Save button on it, I can capture Err.Description in the command button's Clicked() event, and then parse out what I need.So if I must display this form in Datasheet view, where can I trap the ODBC error and display my user-friendly message?
