I am having issues with assigning search criteria for the "Find Next Button". I used the wizard and it does not ask what criteria to use for Find Next. I am assuming there is a bit of VBA I need to add to the generic Find Next button. This is what comes up when I use the wizard to create the button:
Private Sub Command118_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command118_Click
Screen.PreviousControl.SetFocus
DoCmd.FindNext
Exit_Command118_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Command118_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command118_Click
End Sub
How do I define the criteria for the next record. I want the db to move to the next record with the same [PtMRN].
Basically I want to type the ID(key) of a record table in a unbound text box and then by pressing a command button to be able to bring up that record (in form view). I do not want to use a combo-box.
So what do i write as VB code in the Private Sub mybutton_Click()
Table name is [ACTION_ID], ID field name is [ACT_ID] & text box name is [TEXT_BOX]
I am not sure where to start or go about creating message box that would display "No results found" if my queries return no results. My search of the forums hasn't been fruitful.
I have created one form that has a text box and a button that works as a search function to run through the tables and displays the applicable queries. Currently, if no results are returned nothing happens. Preferably I would like a message box to display stating that there were "No results found". I would assume that the code would be associated with the "Find" button. Here is the VBA code as it stands, again, I haven't even attempted to add code for a message box.
Private Sub Find_Click() On Error GoTo Find_Click_Err
If DCount("Heading", "Service Desk Manual Query") > 0 Then DoCmd.OpenQuery "Service Desk Manual Query", acViewNormal, acReadOnly End If
I have a Listbox that I use to find records in the Database. It has two fields, [ShootID] and [ShootDate]. It is curently sorted in the query by [ShootID] but I want the user to be able to change it to sort by [ShootDate] and then back again.
I would like to add a button to a form that will print the form with the current record in it. Also, to add a level of difficulty, there are 8 subforms attached to the form. As I already have the form developed, I don't want to reinvent the wheel and go off and create a report with 8 subreports. Is this possible? If so, Can we force all the data on the form to one page?
i am trying to add an import command button to a form so that personnel not familiar with Access can simply push the button and then select the file to import. I want it to import information to a specific table by replacing all records in the current table with the import. I am not the best at coding, but I can understand enough to figure out what I may need to do.
I will be exporting a table to excel from the database. Multiple people will have this database and often times will not be able to access a shared database, so I need to export the table and then set up a way for them to import the excel document into their database by deleting the information in the old one and then updating to the new one.
In theory this would work, but I'm not sure how to implement it.
I have a table with several fields (10) and I would like to create a form that would allow a user to search by entering in as much information as they know. So, they may only know a date and a location, but not anything for the other 8 fields.
Is there a simple way to do this in Access? I'm having issues when the search field is left blank in the form.
I am absolutely puzzeled with a problem we are having with an Ms Access 2000 application, which is the front end to a SQL Server database. We have a database which was working fine for over 6 months. And now all of sudden users are intermittently getting the error messages:
"Error Executing this command" AND "You cancelled the previous operation."
I removed the error handling code from the application to get more detailed error messages and we got the following error message:
The expression On Click you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: .
The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [Event Procedure].
There may have been an error evaluating the function, event, or macro.
This is only intermittent and when they close the database and open it again it works fine for a little while and then the error occurs again. As you can imagine this is a major inconvenience for users.
I have searched the web and forums and there just seems to be 101 reasons why this could happen. Nothing has changed on our system which might cause this occur so I don't know why this is happening.
Could anybody provide any ideas on how I might go about trouble shooting it. We are thinking of opening a support call with Microsoft but the error messages are so generic that I'm not sure what help they could be.
Any help / ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I am trying to add a find button to my form is there any way that I can restrict the find button to only look into a particular column and match any part of the value? The default buttons is not giving me this option how can I change it?
Does anyone know of where I can find something on how to create a Find button? I don't want to use the one you can create through the command button wizard b/c its not what I want. I need it to do a search by one control. If I use the wizard Find button it will be a pain for the user, with them having to click in the right control before searching.
I have a report named Link_report which retrieve links to find some documents. I would like to add a Msgbox to say: " No link has been found for this document" when the case link is empty.
I know you can create a find record command button really simply, which when clicked will display the find and replace window.
What i want to do is create a command button that will search a specific field that i specify in a report for the criteria i enter.
i.e i have a customer information form, which contains
AccountNo CompanyName Address Postcode Tel etc
what i want is a button that when clicked brings up an input field that allows the user to type the name of the company into this field, then when either the enter key is pressed or another button on this pop up window the matching record will be displayed or a error window stating that there are no matching records. Can anyone help me with this.

I have a form [Invoice] with a subform [Orderssubform1] in it and they are both linked with the field 'CustomerID' using a parent and child relationship. I have also established that relationship in the tables too. Using a combo box [Combo0], the user can select a customer from the form and then enter details about the invoice in the subform. They then click 'Generate Invoice' and it creates a report for them. This all works fine.
The problem arises when I want the customer to locate a certain invoice using a button. I would like the customer to be able to click a button on the form which would then bring up a box asking them to enter the invoice number [InvoiceNo] and it would then locate that invoice so they can generate it as a report again. The user can find the customer themselves using the combo box, I just want the record related to that customer to be found using the button.
I'm wrestling with the issues; in other threads, it became apparent that because I could not know ahead of time what I will need to know about a given entity, I will use a table to enumerate attributes that is applicable for a given entity.
However, the stumper is that what if an attribute should conform to a set list of values? Since they are dynamic, I would have problem predicting what I will need to be able to lookup, and am even don't know whether I will need a one-many lookup or many-many lookup.
I thought that generic lookup table with a table listing "classes" of lookup would allow me to have one big generic lookup table while using "classes" to act like virtual tables so I can then set the query to appropriate "class" to return just right set of values.
But as I thought about it, I ran into some issues which is pulling me toward the crazy idea that I should have freestanding tables, and use a field in tblAttribute to give me the table's name so I'd know which free-standing table it points to, and have the necessary key to lookup the values within that table.
Even though my gut instincts tell me that I shouldn't be going against the conventions of database design (who the frick goes around creating free-standing lookups?!?), I'm simply not sure how I can use a generic lookup table to hold all information.
For example, suppose I was given a list of values that has its own categories. Since the former design allows only for two level (lookup and lookupclass), where am I to insert that extra level?
Furthermore, I found myself needing a set of virtual keys to reference a certain "class" of lookups for report purposes. That means I need an extra field in my lookup table than I originally anticipates. What if I find myself needing one more field that just won't fit the generic lookup table?
So does anyone have suggestions on how we would create a placeholder for a lookup table that will be made just in time?
Is it possible on the Find Record button added to a form to adjust the search function so it defaults to a specific box on the form? I have a form for tracking employee's and on my Find Record button I would like it to default to the Last name instead of the Record number.
I am building a database with a single table of records. I have created a form to allow new entries to be made to the table in a user-friendly way.
The problem I’m stuck with is how do I restrict the addition of new records on the form? I want the new record to only be added to the table upon the click of a button, but at present if I tab through, or exit the form the record is saved anyway.
Not all fields on the form are required input so I’m thinking that validation of every field is not the way to go.
I only ever want the record to be saved if a user clicks on a button and under no other circumstance.
I've been trawling through the posts back to about page 15 so any help would be appreciated.
Hi! Everyone on this forum has been very helpful so far, and I could really use some expertise now. I'm trying to update an existing DB designed by someone else (no longer here). I need to add a button to the switchboard for 2006, but I don't understand the code that has been written for the form I am trying to update. I've posted the code below.

I am a neophyte Access 2003 user attempting to build a new Form (all about Lynyrd Skynyrd but that is for discussion in a different forum)
When I attempt to add a Command Button to a Form in Design view, I get stepped through the wizard and all seems to be going well to enable me to add an “Add a New Record” button.
But at the end I get an error message that says “Application Defined or Object Defined Error.” What do I do next?
Thanks for your help, Southern Rock is depending on it.
Getting better - but still far from being competent with VB can someone please help me with the following code.
On the On Click event of a command button I want to call up a field (from another table/form) and add A to it so it lands in a text box. So using the following example -
The table/form is called Patient and the field in question is URNumber. The form I want to put the command button is called RelatedDetails, and in a text box (IDNo) I want to put code that creatsed URNumber with an A on the end (or the beginning) Any ideas?
