Code To Open Form Using Msgbox
Mar 28, 2007Hello,
My database has two main tables: Table1 and History
Users can add data to this table and decide if store part of data into the History table using an append query behind a cmdbutton. I do this to create an Historical Log of my records.
I then have a main form (form1) with the following code on the OnCurrent event:
If Not IsNull(DLookup("[SSN]", "history", "[SSN] = '" & [SSN] & "'")) Then
msgbox "Record present in the Historical Log!", vbOKOnly, "Warning"
end if
I would now like to change this code so that users are prompt with a message that allows them to either open the form1 or the Historical log (frmHistory)
I would need something like this but cannot get it to work:
If Not IsNull(DLookup("[SSN]", "history", "[SSN] = '" & [SSN] & "'")) Then
msgbox "Record present in the Historical Log!", vbYesNo, "Warning"
If vbYes Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmHistory", acNormal, "qryhistoryfrommsgbox", "", , acNormal
If vbNo Then '
'open the regular form1.
Another thing I cannot figure is why this pop up msg comes up even if I close the form. Is there a way to revome it from the close form event?
Thanks.

Form Open Code To Select A Parameter
Oct 9, 2006I have a database with lists clients across the UK. I have now been asked to provide options where users can select clients grouped by geopraphical area e.g say clients in Scotland.
I can of course do this but having numerous identical forms where the source queries have different parameters depending on the regions required.
The only problem with this is that I would need numerous forms and queries. Additionally, there are options on the form to navigate to linked forms which would all need to be unique.
What I would like to have options on my main (Switchboard Type) Introduction Form to select the region. The code on the relevent command button would include the parameter. I would therefore not require the additional forms.
The open form codes includes:
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frmClients"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
I feel i need something after "frmClients" such as qryClients.ClientArea = "Not Scotland". Various attempts to incorporate something has created errors.
Any quidance on code would be appreciated.
Thank you...Paul
Need Help With Double Click Open Form Code
Dec 14, 2006Hello..
I have the following code that I have been trying to get to work:
Private Sub txtSocNumber_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo Err_txtSocNumber_DblClick
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "FrmApplicantFullDetails"

End If
Exit_txtSocNumber_DblClick:
Exit Sub
Err_txtSocNumber_DblClick:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_txtSocNumber_DblClick
End Sub
I have the following two tables:
Applicant and Investigator
Applicant:
ApplicantID
InvestigatorID
etc
Investigator:
InvestigatorID
etc
The relationship is setup as 1 investigator to many applicants.
What I am trying do is this. I have form with a subform in it. In the subform there is applicant info IE SS# LName, FName and that is it. What I want to do is be able to double click on the SS# have the form "FrmApplicantFullDetails" open so you can view the work up on the applicant or edit info on the applicant.
Am I going about this the right way with the above code? Or is there something else I am missing in the code or is there code out that will do what I am looking for that is easier?
Thanks

View 7 Replies View RelatedModules & VBA :: Code To Search For TIF File And Then Open It
Aug 15, 2013How to write some code that will search a known drive and folder structure for a tif file and on finding it, open that tif file.
The known drive/folder structure is as follows:
M:CustomerSatisfactionStdDGImages
or it could have the full path as follows:
prdfs01QUESTIONSCustomerSatisfactionStdDGImag es
and then there are the following folders which contain any number of tif images:

I would like to have a button in a form that the end user clicks and they then enter the name of the tif file they are looking for and on pressing enter the file is searched for and if found it is automatically opened up for them to see, if it is not found then a message "File Not Found" is displayed.
I Believe that I will need something like this:
Code:
Dim FS As FileSystemObject
Dim filenum As Integer
Dim tmp As String
Dim Folder As Folder
Dim subFolder As Folder
Dim File As File
[Code] .....
It's when I get to this point that I've got stuck, I don't know how to structure the code required to do the search and on finding the tif file open it.
An example tif file I might search for is: 0H214_2CJ0001905.tif.
Modules & VBA :: Code To Open A Form To A Specific Record
Sep 4, 2014I am using a datasheet view with dbl click code to open a form to a selected record. I was able to use pbaldy's code and it worked perfectly.
DoCmd.OpenForm "Asset Status", , , "[Project Number] = '" & Me.Project_Number & " ' "
Then I realized I really want to be able to go to other records after I have gone to this form and tried this:
Dim rs As Object
Dim lngBookmark As Long
'set variable to the current record
lngBookmark = Me.Project_Number
'open new form
[code]....
But to no avail. Project_Number is a text field.

Modules & VBA :: Writing Code To Open Query After User Selected Fields To Include From ListBox
Jan 14, 2014Access 2007-10
Listbox created: List62 (I know I need to rename it, but for now)
Multi-select: Extended
Row Source Type: Field List
Row Source: qryFieldList
Open Query: qrySelectedFields (I added primary key to first column, just to have at least one destination field).
Goal: to select multiple fields within listbox, click on command button to open query "qrySelectedFields" with selected fields from list box.This is the code I have on the command_click:
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strSQL As String
If Me.List62.ItemsSelected.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "Please select one or more fields.", vbExclamation, "Healthcare REIT"
Me.List62.SetFocus
End If
[code]....
It does absolutely nothing - doesn't add the fields to "qrySelectedFields", doesn't open the query, notta.
Run Code On Database Closing
Jan 22, 2007Where would I access the event properties for when the entire database closes? Something like the On_Close event for a form, but for the whole database.
I want to have Access prompt to back up the database upon exit, so when someone clicks the close button, a dialog box opens and asks "Do you want to back up?" with an Yes or No option. Yes would obviously run the backup code, and No would simply exit.
Compacting And Repairing A Different Database Using Code
Dec 6, 2007Hello
I am aware that there are a lot of existing threads relating to compacting and repairing but I cant seem to find what I am looking for.
Basically, I developed a complaints database for my employers and it is used by around 45 people at any one time. The database was one of firt I built so it is not the best and is serious bloatware. Our server management team gave me an ear bashing the other day because the BE was 145MB. I did a compact and repair which took it to 45MB. The problem is that I need to do this daily but it involves kicking everyone out of their linked FE so the BE can be compacted/repaired. As an interim measure before I rebuild the whole thing I am going to schedule a database to open that will compact and repair the Complaints Database BE. Can anyone tell me the code to use to compact another database other than the one I am using. I have been looking at the code in other posts but I cant get it to work. The code I was looking at is the DBEngine.CompactDatabase... but I dont understand what comes after this and why??
Thanks people. :-)

Compacting Database 'breaks' SQL Code
Sep 22, 2005I had someone write some code to access an Access database. The code works with the database as is, however if I choose to compact & repair the database to minimize its size, the code no longer works. What could be different about the database once it's been minimized using the database utilities?
Thanks,
Rick
P.S. Does compacting the database make it more responsive to users on the web that query the database, or doesn't it much matter?
ASP Code To Connect To A MS Access Database
Apr 17, 2006Hi there,
Thank you for this great site, and a special thanks to all persons here who are giving a big help to newbees as me.
here is my prob:
I have set up some few ASP pages using dreamweaver 8 in wich I put some forms to collect data from users (actually I'm recruting subjects for a scientific research) and teste them on my local host using IIS server and access 2000 database. all things work correctly. My strconnection in my local machin is as follow:
Code:<%' FileName="Connection_ado_conn_string.htm"' Type="ADO" ' DesigntimeType="ADO"' HTTP="true"' Catalog=""' Schema=""MM_connsujets_STRING = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=c:InetpubwwwrootSujetsRecdbRecruSujets .mdb; Persist Security Info=False"%>
I have found a site (http://www.asphost4free.com) wich host free asp pages. I uploaded my pages but the connection to the data base is no longer working. the host site give this sample of code to get to connect to the data base:
Dim Conn
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
strConnection = "DRIVER=Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb);DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("/USERNAME/db/yourdatabase.mdb")
oConn.Open(strConnection)
....
...
oConn.Close
I have follwed it and I have changed the username and the database name with mine but I can't figure out what to put to replace the .... after oConn.open. I git error this error when I have tryed to connect:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8'
Object required: 'oConn'
/kin2006/Connections/connsujets.asp, line 11
I deleted the oconn but it doesn't help I have tryed many other combination without any success.
Any clue!!
thanks in advance

Open "Print Layout" In Word By Code
Jul 16, 2005In the menu in word there is some option to view the documents
1. Normal
2. Print Layout
3….
I open the word’s document from the access
I insert value from the access into word.
I asked here some question in last week and I helped so much.
My question now is:
In the document in the word I put some bookmarks.
One of the bookmarks is on the header (Title of the document)
And then when I open the document its open in a “Normal” view
I want to open the document in “Print Layout”
Can I open a document in “Print Layout” by code?
The problem code is:
objWord.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("nivchan").Select
objWord.Selection.Text = Me.M_NIVHAN
Because the Bookmark: “nivchan” is on the header.
Thanks a lot and good week!
