Forms :: Timer Event Causing System Resource Exceeded
Dec 9, 2013
I have Access 2010 and have made a small system that creates a table as a result of an query based on linked tables. The result is approximately 40 records that are grouped in 4 different priorities where each record has a status of green, yellow or red.
By using the timer event I want to loop through 6 different forms starting with the overall view and herafter priority 1 form, priority 2 form and so on. When the last form has been displayed start over again. Loop for ever until stop button has been pushed on the first form.
The timer is set to 15000 on each form, when I open a form the first thing that happens is that I close the previous open form.
After the system has looped 4 times it gets "SYSTEM RESOURCE EXCEEDED".
I have used 3 days on the internet to try to get a solution on my problem with no luck. I have got so far that it must be something with the timer function. Since if I run it manually (open form, close previously, open next form etc) then no issues.
These are the two results I get when I try to run or go into design view for the last few queries in a series of queries I've created for an estimating tool for my company. The reason I'm getting it now, is that I had to significantly alter the queries prior to these in the series. I need to alter these as well, but I'm thrown into SQL view, and with the amount of info, I'd be lost without the normal design view. Furthermore, it won't run anyway. I can't reduce the size and maintain a decent representation. Is there anything I can do with Access 2003, or will I have to resort to not doing this at all?
I need a query run that brings up a list of customers that need maintence after 6 months after their last maintence service. As soon as you open the DB, the event/query runs and if there are any customers past due to display them. And if there are none, to not even show the query at all.
I have very little experience with timers and if/then statements and don't know how to set this up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I have a database of 45 MB. I am running a report from a form. the report is based on a query, which is too long(about 14 unions with join also)
when i am running this on a P4 PC having 256MB RAM it is working.
but when I am running it on P3 PC having 256 MB RAM, is displays an err like System Resource exceeded. nothing is running behind. only the database is opened.
I have a form (MS Access 2003) that has a button that when pressed, assigns the current time to field [Time1] using
Code: Me.Time1 = Now()
I have another field [Time2] that adds 15 minutes to [Time1] using the following in the Control Source field
Code: =DateAdd("n",15,[Time1])
I was wanting to use these to force a message box when the system time reached Time2 and tried the following code on the Form ON TIMER event (Interval at 1000 ms) but it does not work.
Code:
If Time() > Me.Time2 then MSGBox "Time to show message" End if
I tried putting in a manual time in the VBA such as:
Code:
If Time() > #2:05:00 PM# MSGBox "Time to show message" End if
which worked. So, I am guessing there is something with my orignal code using Me.Time2 that is causing the problem.
I created a form to list the number of customers in my lobby. In the Form Footer I placed a field to count the number of customers waiting (Name: CC1, Control Source: =Count([LName]). Works fine.
I want a Beep on the form if the customers exeed 5. I placed the following code in the Timer event but I cannot get the event to work. I believe it has something to do with the field name but I'm unsure. Any help would be appreciated.
My form is always open and runs a timer event which runs a series of functions and procedures. I don't want to run a certain procedure on every timer cycle, but rather, every other timer cycle.
Any thoughts on how best to accomplish this. I'm having a mental block!
I've taken a break from Access for a while, but I'm back at it again and having some difficulty. I am trying to open a form with a timer to state that the database is going to shut down in five minutes if they don't respond. I'm obviously using the wrong code. I've been trying to use the following:
Private Sub Form_Timer() DoCmd.OpenForm "frmWarning" If Forms!frmHidden!chkActive Then Forms!frmHidden!chkActive = False Me.TimerInterval = 300000 Else DoCmd.Quit End If End Sub
I need to create a database that tracks the usage of a resource on a monthly basis. I have the tables built that will track the contracts, clients, etc. In the contracts table I have a start date and an end date that are tied back to an inventory item.
My question is how can I shows these on a datasheet like this, so that is shows the inventory items and who has what that month.
Item Jan Feb Mar .... INV#1 Joe Joe Barb
I set up the tables for the data I need to store, maybe the start/end date won't work.
I'm working on creating a resource allocation table for my small company. Basically, we want to be able to designate a certain number of "man-months" per functional group per month per project. Additionally, this database will hold the billing milestones that are associated with the project and we will track some health indicators to each of them.
For instance, we may have a project that is going to be running from May 15th 2014 to June 5th 2015. Based on an access project template I found, I have created some pretty good quality forms/tables that are working well for project inputs and milestone tracking.
Project Table Lists the Project Name, Project Manager, Priority, Status, Start Date, End Date, and some baseline budget info.
Resource Groups Lists the functional groups (Electrical Engineer (EE), Mechanical Engineer (ME), etc.) There are 9
Milestone Table Project, Title, Priority, Status, Client Billing Amount, Schedule Risk, Technical Risk, Owner, Start Date, Due Date, and some budget lines and descriptions
Alright, So I can't for the life of me figure out how to structure the monthly allocations in a usable table/form. This is what I would like it to look like, similar to the excel document we used to track it in.
How can I create a table that will store all of the data (Project, Resource Group, Month/Year, and Man-months) with inputs from a form that will automatically show the relevant months (between project Start Date and End Date)...
I have our primary web based inventory system that I am exporting to Excel and using this as an import to Access for the main raw data for my database. This being inventory it changes daily so I am updating this table every day. When I try to append the table it ads all the records. I am wanting an easy way to add only the new records/take out the ones that are no longer there. Basically update the table with what is currently there.The only have I have found to do this is by running non-matching queries and update queries.
I have some code which updates an invoice table with transaction numbers. It worked ok until this month when we had to run three months worth of invoices in one go. I recieved a runtime error 3052 "File Sharing Lock Count Exceeded" and Access told me to increase the MaxLocksPerFile registry entry. I thought i'd better check it out a bit first though and found the following on support.microsoft.com
In Microsoft Access 2000, you can take advantage of a feature that allows you to increase the MaxLocksPerFile setting for Microsoft Jet database engine 4.0 by editing the Windows Registry. The default value of this setting is 9500. However, changing this value is not recommended if one of the replicas is located on a Novell Netware server, because the server's maximum record locks per connection is 10000.
The invoice table had about 20k lines but as I am on a netware server i'm not gonna be able to squeeze more than 10k lines out of my recordset so I was wondering if there is any way I can open it without record locking? The table that is being modified is never edited apart from in this one process so there is no risk of complications there.
Here is how I opened the recordset
Set rstInvs = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT [InvNumber], [InvNumExt], [TransactionType], [LineNum] FROM [tblInvoices]" _ & "WHERE [LineNum] Is Null ORDER BY [InvNumber], [InvNumExt], [TransactionType]")
All using access 2010. I've have a query in a database that is given an error: query too complex or system exceeded resources. I've been running this query once a week and all of a sudden; errors. I have changed one unrelated table. I've gone back to an old database and its giving the same errors. database on the server is giving off this error and it's only when I run this particular query.
I have a Form opening from Access Options. I would like to close this Form using the Timer. The following is the code I have used but it is not working.
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Load() OpenTimer = Timer End Sub Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Timer() If (Timer - OpenTime) = 5 Then DoCmd.Close acForm, "Cover_Page_Form", acSaveYes End Sub
Next question. If I can get this to work can I then use a DoCmd to open new Form within the code above or do I need a new process.
I created a report that would generate, among others, a listbox on monthly payments. How do I make it spill-over to the next page when its contents have already exceeded that of a single paper?
I have an Application with several users that share tables located in a Design Master file at a server. The tables are shared in several computers with a Replica of the Design Master in each computer. When we try to synchronize any Replica with the Master Design, it gives back an error message stating that the "Number of blocks of shared files are exceeded" And the message ends stating that I must increase the MaxLocksPerFile in the Register.
I would like to have the date of each new record as the system date IF the field does not already contain a valueThe code below works but changes the fields date even if the field already contains a value
Date () === Tried the following as the Default value, but they do not work IIF(nz([Date()) nz([Date()]) ===
I have a form in which I am trying to build a matrix scoring system.I have two fields one called Offending Consequences and one called Offending Likelihood. The first field is limited to a list 1 to 5 and the second to a list A to E. What I want to do in a field called Offending Score is a kind of grid where:
1A scores 2 and is coloured green up to 5E scores 10 and is coloured red
How do I get the Offending Score field to register the whole list of 25 possible combinations, 9 possible scores and 5 possible colours?My knowledge and understanding of access dbs is only moderate.
I've inherited an Access 2010 database that needs tweaking. I have a form, let's call it CALLED_FORM, that is loaded from various places - ie there are quite a few places that do the following
This works great when called from most places but if it is called from 1 specific form there is a likelihood that some code is executed that shouldn't be.
So I want to be able to do the following
In CALLED_FORM I want to be able to skip some code if the previous form is say FORMX. For all other forms I want it executed. E.g.
If PREVFORM <> "FORMX" then code more code even more code End If
Is there a system variable for PREVFORM.
I know I can change coupleofarguments to threearguments and pass something over in that to show which form it has been called from but that is a bit difficult.
Is there some kind of Time picker function , i can see the date picker however i am using a booking system and have a field named 'time of booking' and i need something that can dump the exact system/online time into the field.
