I am learning how to create custom error messages.
I know about the "OnError" event of the form, and knows how to replace the standard error message.
I wish access will produce an error message saying something like "You must put a value in field X" (custom made msgbox)
How can I identify this 'field X' which caused the error message to be displayed?
Hope I made myself clear.
Thanks for your comments.
I have a main form with project information and subform with financial information for each related project. Every time I try to add a new record, I get the error message "field cannot be updated". I click ok and it appears again, this continues three times after and then disappears when I click ok. After which I can add a new record. This happens on the query and the form.
Can someone help me through this one? Thanks
I have form "Project Log" for my table "Orders". One field "OrderTakenBy" ( text field) is a required field in the table.
In the field properities of OrderTakenBy in the Before Update event I have used the following code:
Private Sub OrderTakenBy_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim strMsg As String, strTitle As String
Dim intStyle As Integer
If IsNull(Me!OrderTakenBy) Or Me!OrderTakenBy = "" Then
strMsg = "You must enter your name."
strTitle = "Field Required"
intStyle = vbOKOnly
MsgBox strMsg, intStyle, strTitle
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
When I first tested it, after trying to leave the field without making an entry-it worked great. Now it seems to have stopped working, I get no message when I leave the field empty.
I keep getting the "Property Value is too large" when I add a description to a field in an existing table.
The same error was resolved on another table by cutting four fields then saving then pasting them back into the table and saving again.
I tried importing the entire DB into a new file, this I still get the error message "Property Value is too large" ...
i have a combo box on a main form.
The name is cboFormulaStatus and control source is FormulaStatus.
the control source is a Text field with 20 possible characters.
The Row Source seems simple with:
SELECT [tblFormulaStatus].[FormulaStatus] FROM tblFormulaStatus ORDER BY [tblFormulaStatus].[FormulaStatus];
I only have 3 possible answers in this field. for this purpose, pretend the answers are black, blue and red. my real answers are less than 12 char.
when i am in the form, i pick one answer. i get an error message:
"the field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. try inserting or pasting less data."
what am i doing wrong? Thanks

Does anybody know what this error message refers to?
"Reserved Error (-1517); there is no message for this error."
It just started happening today, and I haven't even made any changes to the database. It occurs when I hit a button I have to run a macro.
the macro does the following:
1) Shows all records
2) Requery
3) ApplyFilter.
The Where Condition for the filter is:
Right([tblContracts].[JobNum],4)=Right([Forms]![FrmContProc].[txtFindJobNum],4)
The weird thing is that it only occurs if the Form window is taller than 1/2 of my viewable area. If the Form window is 1/2 the viewable area or shorter, it works OK. This was running fine earlier today, but about 4:00 pm (03/31/06) this started happening.
If anybody knows what this error means, or how to get rid of it (I really need to use this window in full-screen) then please let me know.
-Thanks, Sean

Hello.
So, I have a logon form with a combo box for user name and a text box for the password. When they hit login, the user is then looked up and the password verified and if it's good they're taken to a specific screen that gives them specific options. What i want to know is how to hold the value of the user throughout their entire session? The reason for this being, to keep track of what data they enter mainly.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
what is the proper method to check if the current record on a form is the first or last record ?
When i try :
If Me.CurrentRecord = acLast Then .....
it does not seem that it detects the the last record.
Similarly with acFirst
Any ideas ?
Thanks
I have multiple forms, one of which you can view meeting details (form 1), if a mistake is spotted, there’s an ‘amend’ button which brings up a text field to enter in the description.
Now I have another form (form 2) that you can view the meeting details later on, and I want it to display the amendment description if there’s something typed there.
So on form 2, if there’s no amendment description (from form 1), the field stays hiding, but if there’s an amendment description in the field, the field will be visible.
So is there a way to display a field if there’s data entered, or keep it hidden if no data is present?
Thanks in advance

I have attached a screen print of an error message I recieved on my access database. I finally got it to come up, but only after a few pop up boxes with this error message.
I do know the shared drive it is housed on went on the fritz. So I copied it and pasted it to my desk top. Grrr...I thought this message was due to the flipping shared drive. But now, I recieved it on my desk top too.
Anywho...can someone look at it and tell me what it means.
Thanks alot.
PS, i know my desktop has to much stuff, so don't go there. ;)

I have a table that keeps crashing. The only error message I get is "Invalid Argument". Each time, a single record will turn into "#Error". Each field says this in the row. When this happens, Access won't let me delete just that row,
Any ideas how to delete them?
I am getting the following message:
"you tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression qryMaxDays.Days Between 0 and 50 as part of an aggregate function."
I have other queries just like this and they run with no problem. any ideas? :confused:
SELECT Count(qryMaxDays.Days) AS [Number Of], qryMaxDays.Days
FROM qryMaxDays
GROUP BY qryMaxDays.Days
HAVING (((qryMaxDays.Days) Between 0 And 50));
I am trying to Right Join two queries which are basically from the same exact table, but when I do that I get the following error.
ODBC--called failed.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] The column prefix 'MS1' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query. (#107).
The following is a copy of my SQL

FROM PqryNewPolicy RIGHT JOIN PqryExpiredPolicy ON PqryNewPolicy.Insured_Key = PqryExpiredPolicy.Insured_Key;
I have looked for this MS1 and cannot find it. Any ideas where I should be looking or what this means?

Firstly I have placed this in the general section as I am not quite sure if any vba would need to be created for the following. I would also like to report on the information but the answer may not be done at report level.
Anyway, I have created a very basic database that holds staff attendance and their reason for being absent.
tblattendance:
AttendanceID
AttendanceType
StaffID
AttendanceDate
What i would like to do is group consecutive dates if they are all the same type and show them as DateFrom and DateTo
So for example, for someone who is on holiday between 01/Jan/06 and 06/Jan/06 I could show that as:
DateFrom 01/Jan/06
DateTo 06/Jan/06
I am not sure if that is explained very well but I will try to explain a bit more clearly if needed?
Thanks for any help.
