I am trying to set up some template emails using text someone has entered in a form with a variable indicated with a key word in brackets aka. [ChangeID] or [ChangeDate]. The field on the form is formatted as Rich Text so I am getting http code. (No problems yet) In the form the template is required, I lookup the template required and I get the string. I replace the brackets with the following
I would like to convert 2013.11.13 which is a string into a date. This is what i have so far but it's not working.
2013 year
11 month 13 day of week Dim strDate As String, dteConvertedDate As Date strDate = 2013.11.13 dteConvertedDate = CDate(Mid$(strDate, 6, 2) & "/" & Left$(strDate, 4) & "/" & Right$(strDate, 8)) MsgBox (dteConvertedDate) End Sub
I'm trying to use a RecordSet to pull data out of an Access DB. I need to compare a field in the DB to a text box in my form. This is what I have so far.
Dim Hardware As Database Dim Records As Recordset Dim strSQL As String Set Hardware = OpenDatabase("c:hardware.mdb") Serial.SetFocus strSQL = "SELECT * FROM Computers WHERE Computers.Serial = " & Serial.Text
Set Records = Hardware.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
When I try to run this I get a data type mismatch. Some explanation. Computers is a table, Computers.Serial is a field in that table. The "Serial" in Serial.Text is a field in my form. You may ask why I'm using the "&" operator instead of just putting it all in the string. The reason is that I cannot figure out how to get VB to treat "Serial.text" as a variable and not a string literal. When I try to put it in single quotes (') I get an error saying the OpenRecordSet call requires an argument, and I'm not providing one, meaning I'm quoting it wrong somehow. Any ideas?
I have a number of global variables set when a user logs into my application which i want to use in an SQL string to record these in a table however im not sure how i go about it i know simply inserting the defined names in the SQL wont work.
Is there a way to define these in global functions instead?
I have a string that includes mm/dd/yyyy + person's name. All of this is concatenated and is recognized as a text value. Then I want to convert all of these characters to a number. Since each character has an ASCII code, I would like to find ASCII equivalent.
In Excel, this would involve using something like the CODE ( ) function, but that only gives the numerical equivalent for the first character in the string, but I want all characters at once.
When I try the VAL ( ) function, it returns the first character which is the number of the month.
Hi there. I'm just jumping into Access and have the following question. In my Purchase Order Table, I have a date field calcualated as text, i.e. "01/12/04". I need to convert this to a date format in my queries so I can do calculations, i.e. 01/12/04 - 01/05/04 = 7 days. Can someone help me with how to convert this text date to a date format. Sorry if this is an easy question. - AJS
Im a relative novice with access VBA, and I'm really struggling with using Dcount with date variable. All I want to do is count if a certain date appears in a table. Here is the extract from my code:
Whatever dates are in tblworkoutlogs, datecount is still = 0...I've trawled the net and tried many variations of the code but no success!if I change all the date formats to strings in the code and the tables, it works so I know i'm looking in the correct place.
I have a public sub routine which requires parameters to be passed to it when I call it from an access form. When I try to enter the code to call the sub I get a compile error. I've also tried calling it from another sub in the same module but get the same compile error - see below.
Code: Sub EmailData(Datafile As String, To_mail As String, CC_mail As String, Subject_mail As String) 'code to use variables passed in End Sub
I need to set some 'global' variables with default values when my Access 2007 database is loaded. Depending on the user etc these values may be modifed after Access starts but defaults need to be set.
I declared the variables as 'Public' in a Module, then put a function in the same Module (to set the default values) then tried to call the function from an "AutoExec" macro, so it's the first thing that runs when Access loads.The macro throws an error - it can't 'find' the function(?)
I have been tasked to create a multi-keyword search form, however, my form isn't working right and only the first record of the table is opened.
Code: Public Sub txtSearch_AfterUpdate() Dim strWhere As String Dim strWord As String Dim varKeywords As Variant Dim i As Integer Dim IngLen As Long
[Code] .....
These are the codes that I am using for my search form. I have a feeling that I am not calling the variable from the after update portion the right way.
I have a Change Management database with several fields, the key fields that I need to talk to work together are as follows:
[Patch] , [CVE] & [Patch Approved]
When opening a form I have I can sort it by the patch number which will then sort out all other CVE's that are not associated with that patch. What I would like to be able to do is approve one patch under the [Patch Approved] field and have it carried through the rest of the filtered CVE's that have the same [Patch] number/ field.
Public Function OdometerInput(varodometer As Variant) As Long Dim varKilometres As Variant varKilometres = varodometer * 1.609344 OdometerInput = CLng(varKilometres) End Function
It works fine in the immediate window (although I haven't just fathomed what to do with null values and such) But my question which I am sure will be 'easy when you know' is how do I pass the variable to it from a text box on a form and retrieve the data in another text box on a form.
I have a simple date stamp that works great in a private sub within a form. (error handling removed for clarity)
Code:
Private Sub btnDateStamp_Click() ' UserInit is global variable Me!Notes.SetFocus Me!Notes = Chr$(13) & Date & " - " & Time() & " - " & UserInit & _ " -" & vbCrLf & Me!Notes
[code]...
I am rewriting it as Module function that is Called from various forms, to save space. The function receives the parameters varFormName and varControlName. I wish to write the results of the function back to a memo field on the form.I am stumped at the get go by the need to refer to the Forms controls with a full reference instead of the Me command.
Code:
Function DateStamp(varFormName As String, varMemoName As String) 'varInitials, varFormName, varMemoName are global variables Forms!varFormName.Controls!varMemoName.SetFocus ' Error here 'Me!Notes = Chr$(13) & Date & " - " & Time() & " - " & varInitials & _
[code]...
how to refer to the forms control's with their full reference, from within the Module's function, the rest will fall into place.
I am fairly new to VBA and am trying to apply a filter within a form so that agent records can be filtered based on an agent's name (so that they can only see information that refers to them).
I also want a record to be removed when it has been completed (when this habbens a date completed field will populated) however I do want to see those completed records that refer to the agent that have been completed today.
Here is my code. The 2 filters work on their own howver when I put them together I get a mismatch error.
If Me.txtRole = "Agent" Then DateCompletedFilter = "(DATECOMPLETED Is Null) Or (DATECOMPLETED = Date())" AgentFilter = "CASEOWNER ='" & Me.txtName & "'" DoCmd.ApplyFilter , AgentFilter And DateCompletedFilter Exit Sub End If
I'm looking at importing data into a table from a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet will only contain a single column of data, while the table in Access will have a few more, some of which will would be will provided from the form the user is using to import the data, and some at a later date.
Is there a way to do this? I've found the "DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport" command, but not sure this fulfills what I need, as I can't see a way to set variable data.
Here is a brief idea of what my Table would look like, where where the data to import would be obtained from
I am trying to set a filter on a form with VBA using variables and having no success at all. The code I tried last, which seemed to be "close, but no cigar", was:
sLastSource and sBiller are global variables. When I debug this code the sFilterValue is exactly what I would plug in manually and the Me.Filter shows up as "[Field Name] = Filter Value". But it crashes on Me.Filter = sFilterValue. I have tried all sorts of combinations but nothing I've tried works. What is the proper syntax for using variables as filters?
I have never tried passing variables while calling a function so I don't know what the heck I'm doing. I'll give a simplified example of what I'm trying to do. The second variable vRank is reporting properly but the first one vID gets "stuck" on whatever the first item in the listbox is.
Code: Dim vrt As Variant Dim upSQL As String For vrt = 0 To Me.List1.ListCount - 1 If Me.List1.Selected(vrt) = True Then Call ChangeUp(Me.List1.Column(0, vrt), Me.List1.Column(1, vrt))
I am writing a process for a hospital application in the UK
We have a concept of "Takes" which are periods to which patients coming into hospital are assigned to and thus the consultant (specialist) who looks after them.
They are fixed times between 0800-2000 (Day take) and 2000-0800 (+1) Night take.
I have written the following function to try and determine which take a patient should be assigned to based on the time now to power various queries to enable the end user to quickly see "today's day take" and "yesterday's take"
Testing it I seem to not be able to hit the right "Take times" in my output. I suspect it's a problem with the way I'm initiating my variables as Today 0800 and Today 2000
Code: Function GetTakeStarttime() Dim StartTime As Long Dim EndTime As Long Dim CurrentTime As Long Dim YestStartTime As Long
I am using Access 2013 under Windows 7. In my database I have a table, tblStock, with field names Module, Component_1, Component_2, etc. up to Component_50. I also have fields Qty_1, Qty_2, etc. up to Qty_50. These field names are not easily changed as they are constantly updated from another database. I want to create a table, tblTempBOM, using VBA by selecting a particular value of Module selected from a combo box on a form, from tblStock and creating a record with the Fields "Module", "Component" and "Qty" for each Component and Qty from 1 to 50. I am trying to use a From... Next... loop to cycle through the Component and Qty fields and store the data in the new table.

This runs to the point where I try to set the value of rcd![StockCode], but the item rcdStock![strTest] has no value.Can I reference the value of the field in the rcdStock Recordset in some other way that would work?
Look at the below SQL 'INSERT INTO' statement ? I'm trying to insert multiple variable values into an 'INSERT INTO' statement. I'm getting the below error message. The code is listed below. I started out with two (2) variables, but will have thirteen to insert into a table. Also, in the code below is the VBA statement to retrieve the variable data. I'm getting the data, but cannot insert the data into the table.
