I'm attempting to pass a variable from form to form...I'm having trouble doing it...I checked the forum and read a little that the form I'm passing it from must stay open...is this correct? I have my variable as: Public strUserName as String. It does work fine if I leave the form open then I can pass it...
But I want to be able to close the form and still pass the variable...How can this be acheived?
Thanks in advance.

In form1 I've a command button to open form2.
Code in form1:
Private Sub button_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_button_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "form2"
stLinkCriteria = button.Caption
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Exit_button_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_button_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_button_Click
End Sub
button.Caption contains a valid date value
In form2 I want to display the date in a label.
Code in form2:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim DatePassed As Date
DatePassed = CDate(Me.OpenArgs)
label.Caption = DatePassed
End Sub
On executing I get an error like "Invalid use of null value."
Who helps?

I want to build an SQL statement in code which includes the value stored in a string variable where the variable name includes a loop counter.
This is a much simplified example of what I am trying to do:
Dim i as integer
dim Strtable1 as string
dim Strtable2 as string
dim Sqlstring as string
...
Strtable1 = "tblEmployees"
Strtable2 = "tblSales"
...
Sqlstring = " select * from ... where....."
for i = 1 to 10
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO " & StrTable & i & sqlstring
Next i
I am not sure how to get the table names stored in the string variables into the SQL statement. When I try the above it looks for a variable named StrTable, not StrTable1, StrTable2 etc.

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to pass a variable called MyFilter between forms but am having problems. I have created a Module and declared MyFilter as a public string.
The original code in my first form is:
Private Sub Command65_Click()
Dim MyFilter As String
If Me.Filter = "" Then
MsgBox "Please apply a filter to the form first."
ElseIf Me.Dirty Then
' Make sure the record is saved
RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
Else
MyFilter = Me.Filter
DoCmd.OpenReport "Temp", acViewPreview, , MyFilter
End If
End Sub
How to I change this so that it now stores the value in the Public variable instead of the Private one which it is doing above?
Thanks,

Hi all!
I have a college project were we have had to code a database for a fictional hospital to hold patient, doctor, consultant and appointment information. I am struggling with one particular problem.
I am trying to pass a variable from a combobox of results to another form to display a certain record.
I am trying to send:
stLinkCriteria = "[NHS_Number]=" & "'" & Me![lstSearch].Value & "'" & " AND [AppointmentID]=" & "'" & AppointmentID & "'"
to the form but it fails, yet if I "hard code" the variable it works:
stLinkCriteria = "[NHS_Number]=" & "'" & Me![lstSearch].Value & "'" & " AND [AppointmentID]=23"
Can anybody shed any light upon this please?

I need to pass a variable from one Access Database to another
The scenario is I have a item number in one database that I need to use to open a form in another database,
I can open the database using vba, currently launching a BAT file that copies the latest version database to a local drive and then opens it,
Is there an easy way to pass the variable after this has completed?

I have a form with 5 buttons on it. Each button is meant to select a warehouse location, so a query can be run to give an inventory report for that location. There is a separate query for each button and the OnClick event does properly modify the recordsource to give the appropriate data to the report for the location selected.
To this functionality I want the OnClick event VBA to pass the warehouse location to a textbox on the report, so the title of the report reflects that inventory location.
My code thus far is:
Private Sub Command5_Click()
Dim mySQL As String
Dim WHSE As String
mySQL = "SELECT [Master Part List].[Part Number], [Master Part List].Category, [Master Part List].Description, [Master Part List].MaterialCost, [Master Part List].Inventory, [Master Part List].Update, [MaterialCost]*[Inventory] AS [Total Cost], [Master Part List].Warehouse"
[Code] ....
When I get the report, the textbox is empty, instead of containing the text value for the warehouse location.

I have a subroutine that successfully builds a SQL statement "strSQL", which is a public variable.
Using msgbox, I can read that the value is correct -
SELECT * from tblIncidents WHERE [Nature] = 'Hover';
(The select statement may be complex, e.g. [Nature] = 'hover' AND [COLOUR]= 'Blue' AND [GRADE] = 'High')
I want to pass the variable strSql to my report rptIncident in the following command:
Private Sub CmdPrintReport_Click()
If Right(strsql, 1) <> "'" Then 'check if statement was built
Else
strsql = strsql & ";" 'add trailing ; to statement
MsgBox strsql
DoCmd.OpenReport "tblincidents", acViewNormal, , strsql
End If
End Sub
I get a flashing error, then runtime error 3075 - |1 in query expression '|2'.

I am trying to pass a boolean variable to a class module
Code:
Set rps.ViewS = View
the code in the module that this in theory is calling reads as
Code:
Private ViewC As Boolean
Public Property Set ViewS(ByRef ViewA As Boolean)
Set ViewC = ViewA
End Property
Public Property Get ViewS() As Boolean
Set ViewS = ViewC
End Property
However I am getting the error message
Quote:Definitions of property procedures for the same property are inconsistent, or property procedure has an optional parameter, a ParamArray, or an invalid Set final parameter.

Hi All,
I'm not sure if this should go in here or in VB Programming, because it's to do with an Access Database but it's VBA code.
But I understand that VBA and VB are different in the way they work.
I think this may have been looked at before, but I'm not very good at using the search function. I've looked on google, but all I've seen doesn't seem to be for my use, so I came here as recommended by "RadioActive Frog" who I believe is a member here.
Right, basically, I am writing an Access database for my company's ordering system.
I have a form called "Enquiry" which has many tabs, one of these is the "client" tab in in here are many fields:
Firstname
Surname
Company
Addressline1
Addressline2
Town
County
Postcode
Phones
Fax
AltMobile
Email
ContactType
Now, there is an option to enter a new client or search the database for an existing client and it is basically the "new client" which I'm having issue with at the moment.
Basically, clicking the button "New Client" opens another form called "Client". Here, the user enters the data into fields which are the same as above (but on this contact form).
When done, they click a button called "Save and Close" which then asks the user if they want to paste their entered data into the original main "Enquiry" form.
It's this last bit, the transferring of this data I can't get my head around and would be incredibly greatful for help with.
My Code is below:
Code:Private Sub Save_Click()On Error GoTo Err_Save_Click ' On clicking save, a dialogue box will open asking if you want to paste this data ' into the enquiry form. Clicking yes will do this. Clicking no will just close the box 'declare intpress as an integer Dim SavePress As Integer 'Save Command DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70 'when save and paste is clicked, ask if the information should be pasted into the form or not SavePress = MsgBox("Would you like to paste this Contact Information into the Enquiry Form?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Paste details") If SavePress = 6 Then 'If the enquiry form was the form which initiated the cotact form, then copy and paste 'the informtion into the enquiry form and the close the form 'If "Enquiry" = Me.OpenArgs Then <------ I have decided not to use this, as it doesn't seem to work. (I'm probably not using it correctly) Enquiry!FIRSTNAME = Me.FIRSTNAME Enquiry!SURNAME = Me.SURNAME Enquiry!COMPANY = Me.COMPANY Enquiry!CATEGORY = Me.CATEGORY Enquiry!ADDRESSLINE1 = Me.ADDRESSLINE1 Enquiry!ADDRESSLINE2 = Me.ADDRESSLINE2 Enquiry!TOWN = Me.TOWN Enquiry!COUNTY = Me.COUNTY Enquiry!POSTCODE = Me.POSTCODE Enquiry!PHONES = Me.PHONES Enquiry!ALTMOBILE = Me.ALTMOBILE Enquiry!EMAIL = Me.EMAIL DoCmd.Close acForm, "Contact" Else DoCmd.Close acForm, "Contact" End If Exit_Save_Click: Exit Sub
But It's not working. It's giving an error saying "Compile Error: Variable not defined" and it highlights the word which I've mad RED in the code above. Now, I tried changing the exclamation for a fullstop, and I also tried writing "Form.Enquiry.FIRSTNAME" (and also with exclamation marks). None have given a working result.
I'll try and get some print screens too for more visibleness (new made-up word there) so you can see what I mean.
Blessings,
Si
Edit: here are a couple of print screens:
1. The Client tab/page of the main enquiry form:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Mr_Si/Enquiry.jpg
2. The Client Details form, which opens as a result of pressing the "New Client" button in the main enquiry form (shown in the background):

Argh! I forgot I couldn't post links to URLs

Have one form that contains values AssociatedProject and AssociatedRelease that need to be passed onto another form that opens with a new record. Have tried different variations based on what I read here and couldn't get them to work.
Initial form - frm_ViewList contains the values that I need to pass on and has a "Add" button to bring up the new form that also creates a new record. The add button contains the following:
Dim stDocName As String
MyAssociatedProject = Me.AssociatedProject
MyAssociatedRelease = Me.AssociatedRelease
stDocName = "Frm:ManageQuestionsAnswersProc"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, acNormal
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Then in the second form Frm:ManageQuestionsAnswersProc the following code is contained in the Before Insert:
Me.AssociatedProject = MyAssociatedProject
Me.AssociatedRelease = MyAssociatedRelease

Hello,

Private Sub MAIN_DUNS_AfterUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Me.CLIENT_DEAL.SUB_DUNS = Me.MAIN_DUNS.Value
End Sub
MAIN_DUNS= Combo on main form
SUB_DUNS= Combo on sub form
CLIENT_DEAL= Sub Form
DEAL_INFORMATION=Main Form
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any Ideas on how to get this to work correctly??

Hi all,
I have a continuous form that is bound to a SQL Server view.
For each record in my form I have a button, which when pressed opens up a second form. The second form is bound to a stored procedure that takes a parameter. The parameter value that I want to pass to this second form is the value of one of the fields in the first form.
I did the following in the click event of the button on my first form:
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "SecondForm"
stLinkCriteria = "[Field1]=" & "'" & Me![Field1] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
However, when I run this it keeps prompting me to specify the value of Field1 so this value is obviously not getting through. Do you have any idea why this might be happening?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
i'm quite new to Access and I have a problem passing data from one form onto another.
I have a form that I use for quotations based on the table T Quotations on it I have:
QuotationID as my primary
RefCust referring to which customer
Date
and a few other fields
Now i'd like to add a button that when clicked will open my order form. In other words when a quote is confirmed I'd like to click on the quotation form to confirm it and create an order on the order form.
Order form will open with a orderID autogenerated BUT will return the same RefCust as on the Quotation form, the same date and will give the quotationID as Refquote onto the new form.
Ex: on form quotation I have
Cust: abc company
QuotationID: 123
Date: Feb 25 2007
Quote: $300
when i click on confirm
the Order form will open with:
OrderID: 002 (autogenerated)
RefQuoteID: 123
Date: Feb 25 2007 (even though today might be April 10)
RefQuote: $300
Please help me

I have a form and in the subform for that I have a button that opens a pop up form. I want to pass the value [ACB ID] to an unbound text box in the popup form but I am having trouble. My code for the button in the subform is:
DoCmd.OpenForm "addPartNumberMod", acNormal, , "ACB = " & Me.[ACB ID], WindowMode:=acDialog
Currently when I press the button it asks me to enter the acb value instead of carrying it over. Also, when i do type in a number into the dialog, when the form opens, the text box is blank.

I am creating a 2 level report to confirm an order. Main report already created, runs successfully called as subform/subreport under "OrderDetails" form. Linked to master using Order.ID. There are two versions of the confirmation report that have different layouts for different program types.
The hangup comes when I try to add a "Class Dates" subreport. It lists dates of individual classes and Skip dates. I have created the subreport as "srClassDates". When I add it to the main report, it lists the records. However, when I try to link it to the Main report, an error message box appears with the "object variable or With block variable not set".
I have tried rebuilding both the main and subreports, rebuilt the query, have not found anything that changes the result.
Linker has been working successfully on other subforms. Report with groupings works fine, but I need data from 2 tables both linked to order.id.

Good Afternoon,
I am trying to create a form where a user will enter in a value into a text field. Afterwards, when the user clicks "Enter", a query will run and will LOOK FOR THE VALUE THAT WAS ENTERED INTO THE TEXT FIELD. i.e.
User enters their address into the field and clicks the enter button.
Afterwards, a query will run like
select * from customers where address = @address <== the value the user entered into the text field. This is where the mystery lies. How do you pass values?????
Thanks,
Nervous Jervous

Hi All,
Thanks to "Beginning Access97 VBA Programming" by R. Smith & D. Sussman, I was able to implement the use of a calendar form to allow a client to select a date, rather than keying one in. And here I thought I was done with the problem....Wrong !!! The calendar form only works if existing records already have a date(shortdate) associated with the record.
But when I try to create a new record, the date field is "null" and I can't figure out how to pass a date value to the calendar control even though it's receiving a null. I get this "type mismatch" error I've bumped into the part of the code that was supplied via the book where the "property set datecontrol (Byval ctldate as Control) is set, but I can't figure out
how to deal with this incoming "null" value from the newly created record.
Can anyone help? I'll check in later on tonight if anyone is needing part of the code as reference to what I'm trying to accomplish.
Thanks so much.......CementCarver
