I have a form which displays information in the footer until the use has accomplished some tasks. Once I verify that all is well I allow the user to change the fields in the footer. I want to verify that the proper changes were made but the BeforeUpdate event does not fire until the form is closed.
View RepliesI have a subform which makes a change to a field on the main form. When focus is returned to the main form, the BeforeUpdate and AfterUpdate events fire. Why? I thought from the form's perspective, the subform is just another control.
BTW, I get the same behavior if I modify the field from within the Exit event of the subform control.
In either case, the main form's Dirty event is NOT triggered.
I'm trying to change the name of the label in a form, upon opening the form in VBA... Which form event I should use for this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedOn a form I have a pair of controls, Price and PriceInUSD. If the user enters a new value into the Price field, then its AfterUpdate event fires, which looks up the relevant exchange rate and updates the PriceInUSD control accordingly. That all works fine.
Now in some circumstances (if a checkbox elsewhere on the form is checked), I generate a modal dialog box asking the user to confirm that the Price value is correct, or enter a new value.
That modal dialogue box's Enter button's On Click event then updates the Price control before closing the dialog. That bit works fine, too - but I had thought that this update of the Price control would fire its AfterUpdate event - but it doesn't.
So, my basic question is : do Control events only fire in response to user input, and not to programmed changes ?
I want my primary key to be
First 3 letters of surname + first 3 letters of forename + DD + YY (Date of birth)
I can use the after update event to update the primary key field but it won't get saved for some reason so have I missed something?
I have an after update event that populates, Date, Time and User into corresponding fields when the record status changes to closed.
However... Whilst the information is recorded on the form it does not record to the underlying table is there any reason for this, or anything that I am not doing correctly?
I have a form with 7 types of weights (7 textbox rows) showing 7 weights in kgs and the others in lbs.When the user update any weight-kgs textbox, the opposite weight-lbs textbox will be updated automatically, and viceversa.Now, I'd like a fast way to code this action without writing the After Update_event for every textbox (they're 14).I have already setup textbox tags differently with "WeightKGS" and "WeightLBS", thinking about using "for each ... next" statement, but I have some problems to resolve what I want.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am working with 2 forms and a subform.
frmTaskTracker -subfrmInbox (Datasheet View - based on a query)
frmUpdateInboxItem
subfrmInbox displays a summary of tasks on a task list. The user navigates to frmUpdateInboxItem from frmTaskTracker. After updating a record from frmUpdateInboxItem, it is possible that it the record in question will no longer meet the requirements to have it listed on subfrmInbox.
I have attempted to add code to the on close event of frmUpdateInboxItem to requery the sub form on frmTaskTracker but am not getting the syntax correct.
correct my code? Alternatively is there is a more correct way to do this, I'd be happy to learn it.
Code:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub cmdClose_Click()
Me.[frmTasktracker]![subfrmInbox].Requery
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmUpdateInboxItem"
End Sub
I have some code on a button that opens a form and changes the caption of a label:
Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmRepair", , , , , , "CancelNo"
Forms![frmRepair].Form.[lblmain].Caption = "Missing Parts"
This code works well and frmRepair opens with the updated label caption. The original value was "Return/repair Information"
A few other things need to change on frmRepair depending on this caption as well as the values of some other fields, so I use the following code in the onload event (although I later tried the onopen even)
Code:
'Disable labels button if there is no RMA and the item is a repair
MsgBox Me.lblmain.Caption
If Me.lblmain.Caption = "Return/Repair Information" Then
Me.txtRMA.SetFocus
MsgBox Me.txtRMA.Text
[Code] ....
However, I cannot get this to work as the "if" statement always returns "Return/Repair information" and not the modified caption. The message box confirms that this is the case.
I suspect that this has to do with the point in time that the frmRepair loads or opens and when my code enters the modified values.
I have a simple data entry form on which there are about 30 to 40 data fields to be update by users. One of the field is called "Stage" which is a combo box with 2 entries "Formal Case" and "Informal Case" with no default value whien a form is first opened.
Users will normally create a data entry which updates the table and save.
However if in future users open any one existing record and try to change Stage field from Informal to Formal or vice a versa I would then like this action to
1) update a time stamp concatinated with the stage change value in a text field perhaps
2) save/close the form
3) open a new form with all the existing entries(plus changed status of "Stage Field") with a new record ID and new time stamp.
I have a combobox which needs to call a function f(combobox.value) during its onChange event. Currently though, combobox.value appears not to change before the onChange event, and so the function receives the wrong (last) value.
Note - the actual text in the text field of the combobox *has* changed to the new value before the onChange event occurs.
Any ideas why this might be?
Edit - Also the problem doesn't happen when selecting with the mouse, only when using the up and down arrow keys to move through the list.
I would like to create a query that would do the following give me all dates that occurred within the last six months triggered by a date entered into table which when reached it would trigger an email being sent. To explain more detail I am working on a funeral home database. (Which seems like a never ending but I am learning so much so I want to keep building it). Once I enter the date of death field name (DOD) I want query to all deaths that happen prior to past six months from current date. Which would trigger and email that would notify me to send a follow up letter for family.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
In Form of the MS Access.
How can I make the form cannot close if the field is Null when I click the close button?
frm1:
Field Name: Date, Id, Name
The 3 field names are required to input.
Before Update Event:
if (isnull(date)) then
date.setforce
end if
if (isnull(id)) then
id.setforce
end if
if (isnull(name)) then
name.setforce
end if
It works well when I go to next record (suppose I miss one field)
However, It doesn't work when I click the close button, the form is closed.
I want the form cannot close until fill out all fields. It cannot go to the missing fields.
I have a question, when I click close button, Must the form be closed even though I set up the field to be "setforce"?
Thanks.
I have a Product(Table) and a Quotation(Table) linked with one to many Relation.A Query based on these Tables
and a Quotation(Form) which I use a ComboBox(ARTNO) which i have an event at AfterUpdate.The aim is to
every time I choose a Product from the ComboBox(ARTNO) automatically to display the Box(PRICE) of the Product.
Here is the AfterUptade Code:
Private Sub ARTNO_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo Err_ARTNO_AfterUpdate
Dim strFilter As String
' Evaluate filter before it's passed to DLookup function.
strFilter = "ARTNO = " & Me!ARTNO
' Look up product's PRICE and assign it to PRICE control.
Me!PRICE = DLookup("PRICE", "PRODUCTS", strFilter)
Exit_ARTNO_AfterUpdate:
Exit Sub
Err_ARTNO_AfterUpdate:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_ARTNO_AfterUpdate

The problem is that in the Box(PRICE) i have always the same price, in any product selection.
Does anybody knows why?Please help
Hello All,
I have a question.
Can I have in Access 2000, in the After update event a code like this:
DoCmd.RunSQL ("Update Table1" & _
"SET [Table1].Field1 = (SELECT DISTINCT [Table2].[Field1] FROM [Table2] " & _
"WHERE [Table2].[Field22]= "& Me.textbox & " And (Left(Field1,5)= "00000" ")")
?
I have 2 tables. Based on what the user enter in "Textbox" I want to query Table 2 (with conditions) and to update Table 1 with the value I found in the Select statement. (Table 1.field1 = table 2.field1)
Thank you.

I need to trigger an event for when a text box is updated.
However, I cantuse on_update() because the text box is updated by dlookup (and on some of my other ones by vb code), and on_update() only works when the user physically enters a value.
Which event should I use. If there isnt one, is there a work around?
I need an event for when a text box is updated. Not by the user typing into it, but when VB code or something like Dsum() changes its value automatically.
What event can I use? Does one exist for this?
Hi
I have form with a series of text boxes in which users can edit the data that is populated in them. For one of the text boxes I want to add an after update event, so that if the user changes the value in the text box, a message window appears telling them to click on the submit button at the bottom of the form.
Does anyone know the code that I should use to make this message appear when the value in the text box is changed?
Thanks to S.baxter I have used some code to loop through a recordset and select each record in turn in a form that uses the recordset as the Rowsource of a combo box. However, there is an After_Update event attached to the combo box which is not being triggered.
MS Help says :- "If you move to another record or save the record, the form's BeforeUpdate and AfterUpdate events do occur." I have tried this but can't get it to work. Would it work if I could move the focus to another control on the form and if so how do I do that?
Thanks

I have a main form with 2 subforms. I have a checkbox on subform1 "frmExpediteS" that when checked i would like the Value in Feild "PO" of this subform to appear in "PO" in a second subform2 "frmExpediteDetails". I think I need an after Update event but not sure of the code to use.
Can someone please steer me in the right direction.

I have a DB with TblInspector and TblViolation Data. Here is what I am having trouble with. On my form I have a combo box named Inspector and a text box named ARNumber. What I would like to have happen is anytime that I select John Doe from combo box Inspector it pulls his ARNumber from TblInspector and saves his ARNumber in TblViolation Data.
I have fields Inspector and ARNumber in my TblViolation Data. I am pretty sure it is an After Update Event. I just don't know what code to put where. This is what I currently have on my combo box. It pulls the number and displays it in the text box on the form but does not save it to the table.
Private Sub Inspector_AfterUpdate()
Me.ARNumber = Me.Inspector.Column(1)
End Sub
Hi,
I use access database for a website. I would like to run a trigger in a specific table when updating a record.
Is it possible to create table level triggers in Access at all, if it is, pls. give me short direction. (as far as I know there are lot of events, but this events occur only in native access application only, and can not be handled outside of access, am I right?)
thanks a lot

I have a query in a subform on the main form. I have a search box that updates the subform/query as you type something (using the On Change event). You then click on the record you want which transfers the information to the appropriate text boxes (one of these txt boxes is the clientID I talk about below) located next to the search box.
I have a Contacts subform/query much like the serarch box I created and I am using a txt box (on the main frm) clientID (which I get from the above process) to filter the contacts.Now when I pass the ID to the txt box on the main form I am having trouble getting a event to trigger and update the subform/query correctly.
I am using VBA to create a simulated Click action which seems to work but is not updating the Contact subform/query, it is just resetting the subform/query. If I manually click on the txtbox with a ID in there all works wonderfully. I have attached the database. I made the clientID and btn next to it visible(this would not be visible normally).I just realised I left a button on the main form next to the clientID txt box just ignore that and click on a client then the clientID txt box to see how it updates the contacts subform..
I am trying to use a Combobox BeforeUpdate Event to achieve a required result.
I have two combo boxes inside a frame. The first is a year number 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014
The Second is the Week No ranging from 1-52, but 1-53 in some cases and this updates accordingly with the year number selected.
When the user has selected Week 53 and then changes the year to a year where only 52 weeks exist I want to Cancel their event.
I have already made a function to determine if 53 weeks exits however when I come to do the Cancel Event, the combobox for the year doesn't change back. It stays on the users new selection.
Below is the code that I am trying to use:
Private Sub cmbWeekNoFromYear_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If UpdateWeekNoSelections Then
Cancel = True
Me.cmbWeekNoFromYear.Undo
End If
End Sub
'cmbWeekNoFromYear is the name of the combobox which holds the year number
'UpdateWeekNoSelections Simply returns True if I want the users change cancelled for cmbWeekNoFromYear
