Modules & VBA :: Repaint Doesn't Work Until End Of Code
Jul 31, 2015I have a process which runs lots of slow append queries, so I want to reassure the user of progress, by changing the font colour of labels to green when the relevant queries have finished. This is the code I'm using
Code:
'Update the older data if that option is selected
If Me.Menu_YearOption.Value = 1 Then
DoCmd.OpenQuery "2-10 Append FY1112"
Me.lbl1112.ForeColor = 32768
Me.Repaint
DoCmd.OpenQuery "2-12 Append FY1213"
[Code]...
Each query takes about a minute to run, as it gets data from a sharepoint server, but the labels don't turn green one at a time as expected. Instead, I get the spinning wheel until all the queries have run, then all the labels turn green together.
Is there something else I should be doing rather than Me.Repaint ?

Modules & VBA :: Getting Code For Conditional Default Field Value?
Jan 17, 2014convert the following into VBA code for an Access 2007 field on a form. It is needed to create a conditional default value based on another field's category: (Note: TransType, MembershipYear and Dues are field names and are all on the form). Based on the TransType (which is really a category of membership) I want the Dues field to have the applicable default value automatically entered.
For MembershipYear > 2008
If TransType="Individual" or TransType="I" Dues=35.00
If TransType="Family" or TransType="F" Dues=50.00
If TransType="Founder" Dues=100.00
If TransType="Student" Dues=10.00
If TransType="Lifetime" Dues="" or is Null
If (TransType is Null or TransType="") and TotalPaid >0, Dues=35.00
Modules & VBA :: Use Value On Form Control As Default Value In Other Tables
May 11, 2015How I might use a value selected by a user on a database opening menu (which remains open), as a default value for records created programmatically in other tables?
I wonder if I need to write a function to repeat the value - but I cannot see how to use a form value outside of the form's own code. Some of my existing code inserts values into tables using SQL converted into VBA and I do not really want to start fiddling with that - I would rather for now use the default value of the table for the field.
My variable which will change depending upon which set of records a user is working on is a string "FullAccession".
When a user creates records in a table called tblGroups, I need the string "FullAccession" to be the default value in the tblGroups.FullAccession field. A unique integer in the tblGroups is "GroupNo". "GroupNo" and "FullAccession" are joined in a unique index for tblGroups. There is a separate PK autonumber.
Modules & VBA :: Set Default On Control In OnLoad Event
Nov 17, 2014I am dynamically trying to set a control default value. I have the code below in the On Load event of the form. I get an error msg that says "Run-time error '2467': The expression you entered refers to an object that is closed or doesn't exist."

Modules & VBA :: Default Property For Control Bounded To Date / Time Field
Dec 4, 2013Access 2007
In a table I have 2 fields:
D1 , Date/Time , DefaultValue: Date()
D2 , Date/Time , DefaultValue: Date()+1
In a form (bounded to this table) I have, of course, 2 controls bounded to this fields:
txtD1 and txtD2
If the user change the value in txtD1 (using the Date picker) I like to change the DefaultValue for txtD1 to the new date and the DefaultValue for txtD2 to the new date + 1 day. Something like this:
Code:
Private Sub txtD1_AfterUpdate()
Me.txtD1.DefaultValue = Me.txtD1
Me.txtD2.DefaultValue = Me.txtD1 + 1 day
End Sub
I tried whatever crossed my mind... with the same "result" : #Name?
My Regional settings:
Short date format: dd.MM.yyyy
Date separator: Dot
Simple: 05.12.2013
Modules & VBA :: Assign OnClick Event To Control Through Code
May 27, 2014Visual Studio IDE environment and I have been working with Access VBA for almost a year now.
I am very used to generating my form controls in runtime and being able to create some cool user interface interactions by being able to say btnExample.OnClick += MyDynamicClickFunction
MyDynamicClickFunction(Object sender, EventArgs e).... code
Any way to assign functions to the events of already made controls on a form. Probably during the load event?
Now I have found that there are many ways to replicate Visual Studio's features by accessing User32 and replicating them
My Code Doesn't Do What I Want It To Do
Jan 19, 2006Hello All,
I'm trying to display a choosen record from a table with a record id that is a TEXT data type. A variation of this same code works correctly in another form where the record source is a table with a record id that is a AUTONUMBER data type.
The below code (Access 2000) displays the first record in the table.
Private Sub cmdTypeCodeSearch_Click()
On Error Resume Next
Dim strtyTypeCodeID As String
strtyTypeCodeID = GettyTypeCodeID
'Just put this in to verify record id
MsgBox "You selected " & strtyTypeCodeID & " for your record key"
If Not IsNull(strtyTypeCodeID) Then
Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "[tyTypeCodeID] = " & strtyTypeCodeID
If Not Me.RecordsetClone.NoMatch Then
Me.Bookmark = Me.RecordsetClone.Bookmark
Else
MsgBox "Record Not Found"
End If
Me.Refresh
End If
End Sub
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Tabbed Pages - Code Doesn't Seem To Work
Nov 13, 2006I'm using a 5-tabbed form and have put it in my detail section.
Within the on click event of one tab knob i would like to activate some knobs in the form header where the tab resides on.
I've coded everything properly but in one or other way access doesn't seem to communicate between the tabbed form within the details and the form header. Anybody an idea?
VBA Code Doesn't Work After Saving In ACCDE
Oct 2, 2014I saved my front end db as .accde in order to distribute it without user being able to edit my objects. As it turned out, when I open the .accde now I see my code doesn't work anymore. I have a lot of startup code and now it doesn't trigger at startup. Basically all my forms use vba code and none of them works in .accde . Accdb version works without any issue.
View 3 Replies View RelatedTab Control Is Set To Transparent But Background Doesn't Show Through
Aug 31, 2006I have some tab controls, which for some reason show up white.
I have set their back style to transparent but it doesn't seem to show the grey Windows colour of the background form.
Any ideas why ?
AT the moment I'm having to put grey rectangles in various places to cover this up, which is obviously not ideal.
Entering Field Value With Code Doesn't Trigger New Record With AutoNumber
Jan 4, 2006In trying to respond to another thread, I have run into something that is confounding me (or maybe I'm just getting dense).
We have a subform. One field has an event on DblClick to launch a search form. When the user identifies the target, he/she clicks a button on the subform. This pushes the appropriate value into a field on the original subform using VBA code and closes the search form. This all works fine.
The behaviour that is driving me bugging is when the user clicks on a new record (i.e. new line) on the subform, we would like to automatically generate the next record (E.g. when you type in a field of a record with autonumber in datasheet mode, Access automatically generates the next record). Currently this doesn't happen - Access generates the PK for the record being modified, but doesn't generate the view of the next record.
What really confuses me is that I have created similar looking example in which this works just fine. I can't figure out which of the differences between the two samples is causing this behaving.
Also, typing information into the field on the subform does cause the next record to be generated. It is just doing this via code that works in one case but not another.
I have narrowed it down to the actual subform. Even as a standalone form the form exhibits the same behaviour.
For reference, the original thread is

Any suggestions?

Better Control Than Default
Jan 13, 2006I have a few forms in my database that I used the wizard to design. They work as intended however the default control that access uses is horrible. Is there a way to modify the control of these forms without building them from scratch? I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to build it from scratch and have it function as it does now.
View 6 Replies View RelatedDefault Value In A Control
Dec 4, 2006I have an inventory entry form with 3 controls on it. One is the area counted, the second is an item number, and the third is the amount counted. When the form is opened it prompts for the area counted which then changes the default value so you don't have to enter it again. The problem is that it works for a number but not alpha-numberic or alpha.
The table is set as text and I've tried setting the inputbox to string and still can't seem to avoid the #Name? error.
Any direction would be appreciated. I tried looking up a past thread but couldn't find anything this specific.
Setting A Field Default Value Through Code
Dec 17, 2007High all.
I would like to know how to set a fields default value on a table.
Eg - i have a Yes/No field that and i want the default value to be set to 'Yes'.
I cant use the front end application because the form its on is a generic form used by about 30 other tables.
At present it is not set to anything and so always defaults to 'No' on the form.
Thanks in advance.
Help Changing Default Sort Code
Mar 1, 2005I am trying to set the default sort code to something other than the primary key. Example- Book Code is Primary Key but I want the table to be sorted by Title. I have went into properties and used the Order By property and typed 'Book.Title' however when I view the datasheet, Book Code is still the 1st column??? Is it still being sorted by Title??
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Seting Default Tab Control
Jul 25, 2005hello all! I use this site very frequently when I run into issues and I can always find an answer... until today, hehe.
anyway, here is my problem. in my application, on the main form if you will, are 4 tab/page controls. when the user uses the navigation buttons on the bottom (these are access' form navigation buttons), regardless of which tab they were on, i want it to automatticly display the first tab, first. i have figured out that it is on the form_onactivate event that i must do this, however i cannot seem to get that one tab to the be the default. i have tried using the page index, set focus, i have tried calling a control on that tab/page, refreshing the form, simulating a user "click"... needless to say i am fresh out of ideas. :confused:
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thank you for all the help you have given in the past too :)
Display Control Source OR Default Value In Textbox
Aug 31, 2005Table1 has field (% Completed this Period) that may contain a value, or may be NULL for each entry, depending on how much work was performed that period. The records are sorted by date.
Form1 has a textbox that basically keeps a running tally of "% Completed to Date" by summing the "% Completed this Period" for the current period and all previous periods. So, my Control Source for the textbox is the DSum(...) function.
The problem is this: If I am looking at the first record and there is a 0 (null) value for "% Completed this Period," (i.e. No work was completed that period), I want to display 0 on Form1. However, Access just displays nothing - a blank textbox. I tried making a default value, but nothing will show up since I already have a Control Source set for that field. If I take the DSum function out of the Control Source, then the 0 will show up. But, obviously that defeats the whole purpose of the textbox. I guess I'm trying to figure out how to display the DSum value IF it is something other than 0, BUT IF IT IS 0, then I want 0 to be displayed. Any help would be appreciated.

Forms :: Textbox Control Not Filling When Default Value Is Set
Jul 28, 2015I have 3 tables, tblClients, tblClientDetails, and tblSchedulingDetails.
I have a field in tblClientDetails to contain the client number from tblClients, and I have two fields in tblSchedulingDetails to contain the client number and the client details number.
I then created a form that holds most of the fields for all of the tables mentioned above to enter new client names, new client address info, and basic client scheduling info.
Now, I have set the default values using the property sheet in design view for the following:
ClientNum > ClientNum_tblClientDetails and
ClientNum > ClientNum_tblSchedulingDetails and
ClientDetailsNum > ClientDetailsNum_tblSchedulingDetails
I promise this is not a riddle...
Here's the quandary - ClientNum_tblClientDetails is autofilling from tblClients, and ClientDetailsNum_tblSchedulingDetails is autofilling from tblClientDetails, but ClientNum_tblSchedulingDetails is not autofilling in spite of the fact that the default value is set with =[ClientNum].
I then created a modal dialogue form with the fields from tblClients and tblClientDetails with a command button that opens another modal that contains the fields from tblSchedulingDetails, set the appropriate default values, and the ClientNum_tblSchedulingDetails autofills as needed.
The question at hand is, why do I have to use modal dialogue forms to perform this action and cannot do it in one single form?
Open Form, Link Criteria, Filter, Cant Set Default Value To A Control.. Why?
Dec 15, 2006Private Sub btncard_Click()
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
stLinkCriteria = "[jobref]=" & "'" & Me![jobref] & "'"
DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.OpenForm "k_job_card", , , stLinkCriteria
End Sub
this button code opens the k_job_card form.
the form opens and says 'Record 1 of 1, (Filtered)
i have a control on the form that opens.. and i am simply trying to assign a default value to that control..
it is a textbox.. for my jobtype field (text datatype)..
is there any particular reason why i cannot assign a default value to a control if it has been placed on a form that has been opened using a form filter?
this is how the Form Data tab is set at the moment..
Forms :: Text Default Value For Control Box Bound To Number Field?
Jul 14, 2014Is there a way to create a text default value for a control box that is bound to a number field?
I have a combo box that is bound to an auto number ID but displays text. Bound column = 1, Number of column = 2, Column width = 0; 4cm
I want to use sample text in all my controls (and I know an alternative would be to use the control tip text). In a text box it is easy, I just set the default value to that value and then a before_update event considers the text box empty if the field value is the default value (e.g. Name text box has: Name... as default value). This doesn't work with my combo box since the bound column is a number. I could create a value in the table but then it would appear in the drop box and it is messy.
