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 an access form called forma. It has a command button. When I click a command button, FormB opens up and FormA closes. The FormB also has a command button. When I click the command button of Form B, it closes and opens FormC. Like this there are total 30 forms. What I need is. I want to count the no. of clicks of the command button in total. Actually each button is a correct option of A multiple choice question. I tried to declare a public Variable called total in the declareation of the first form and tried to use it directly in the succeding forms. It does not capture the values. How can I increase the value of the varialbe declared in the first form even after the form closes and capture till end. Actually I also should be able to send the value in a table. Please Help Me.!
View 2 Replies View RelatedAnyone know how to reference a global variable as criteria for a query?
I am currently using invisible text boxes on an intermediary form as criteria for my query and it works fine, but this solution seems inellegant and I'm looking for something a little smoother. I just need the correct syntax to reference a variable in the criteria section of a query.
Thanks!
i have a form (frm1) and subform (sfrm1) that when a room number is double-clicked in the subform another form (frm2) and subform (sfrm2) loads. frm1 has building info and frm2 is used for inspection info. if a room has never been inspected then when frm2 loads the field [room] will be empty. however, after the first inspection the room number is obviously entered for frm2.
so i have created a global variable that holds the value of [lab_room] from frm1 and is supposed to use this value on frm2 if the room has never been inspected - ie, [room] is null. however, the value of intRoom (global variable) is lost after is leaves frm1 and goes to frm2. below is my code:
modGlobal (module with global variables declared)
Option Compare Database
Global intVar As Variant
Global intRoom As String
Private Declare Function CoCreateGuid Lib "OLE32.DLL" (pGuid) As Long
Private Type GUID 'Memory structure used by CoCreateGuid
Data1 As Long
Data2 As Integer
Data3 As Integer
Data4(7) As Byte
End Type
Private Const S_OK = 0 'Return value from CoCreateGuid
frm1 subform double click event
Private Sub Form_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)

Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
Dim stMsg As String
'if the user double clicks on an area that has no lab_id associated with it
'prevents a null value for lab_id
If IsNull(Me!lab_id) Then
stMsg = "There is no lab associated with this room."
intRes = MsgBox(stMsg, vbOKOnly + vbExclamation, "Error - No Lab Selected")
GoTo Exit_DblClick
End If
'opens lab forms associated with this lab_id
intVar = Me!lab_id
intRoom = Me!lab_room
stDocName = "ehs_lab_safety_surveys"
stLinkCriteria = "[lab_id]=" & "'" & intVar & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
[Forms]![ehs_lab_safety_surveys].Form.RecordsetClone.Find ("lab_id = '" & intVar & "'")
DoCmd.Close acForm, "copy_lab_search_by_bldg"
Exit_DblClick:
Exit Sub
Err_DblClick:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_DblClick
End Sub
frm2
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim strNewguid As String
'checks for null values of lab_id, room, id and safety_survey_date. if they are
'null or empty a value is inserted.
If IsNull(Me!lab_id) Or (Me!lab_id = "") Then
Me!lab_id = intVar
End If
If IsNull(Me!room) Then
Me!room.Value = intRoom
End If
If IsNull(Me!safety_survey_date) Then
Me!safety_survey_date = Date
End If
If IsNull(Me!id) Or (Me!id = "") Then
Set x = CreateObject("Scriptlet.TypeLib")
strNewguid = Left(x.GUID, 38)
Me!id.Value = strNewguid
End If
DoCmd.Maximize
End Sub
can anyone see why the value is being lost from frm1 to frm2? i'm ripping my hair out trying to figure this one out....
Is there any way of opening recordsets as public or global in a form? E.g. if i do something like
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("TblCustomers", dbOpenSnapshot, dbReadOnly)
the variable rs should be available in all the private sub i have on that form, and i should be able to access records without opening database/ record sets for individual subs.
I would like to declare Global or Public variables from a table so they can be added to or edited easily. I had the following function to do this with Alpha Five but at the moment my lack of knowledge of Access VBA is making this task difficult.
Here is the function that I use in Alpha:
FUNCTION udVars AS A (udTabName AS C )
dim codeStr as c
t=table.open_session(udTabName,file_ro_shared)
t.fetch_first()
while .not. t.fetch_eof()
[Code] ....
It opens a table reads in the records and then makes them into a string the string would look something like this:
"Public EuroRate as Single = 0.885"
I would then need to use this string to declare the variables but not sure what command to use - I was looking at the Eval function last night but couldn't get this to work...
The table would hold strings for all the above so you would have:
My_Var (variable name)
My_Typ (type of variable e.g. Single)
My_Val (value e.g. 0.885)
The table would hold as many variables as required, some would be dates, some paths for making directories and some would be numbers.
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 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
Code:
strleftB = Chr(34) & " & me."
strRightB = " & " & Chr(34)
strTemplate = Replace(strTemplate, "[", strleftB)
I then get a string but in need to convert part of the string into variables, before I capture the correct output for my email
Code:
"<div>RFC Submission: <strong>" & me.ChangeID & ", </strong> " & me.Details & "</div>"
My question is: what is the best way to split the string into strings and variables
Hi, I am writing a script which will retrieve all of the tracks relating to whichever cd the user has chosen. The script is being written in asp and the line which sends the variable to access looks a bit like this:
sqlQuery3 = "up_getAlbumTrackInfo " & productID
Set rs3 = dbConn.Execute(sqlQuery3)
If possible could you tell me how to retrieve this value from access as I have become lost.
At present the SQL code in the query looks like this
SELECT tblTracks.trackName, tblTracks.TrackNumber FROM tblTracks
WHERE tblTracks.productID = (** variable would go here **)
Many Thanks
Tim
What I am trying to do is the following
I have three columns
Name, Date, Number
What I need to do is find the difference in the number column where the Name is the same but the date is not ex:
Bob 2013-12-12 123
Bob 2013-12-15 456
Jane 2013-12-14 789
Jane 2013-12-25 987
So what I need to do is to get a result that is independent of date i.e.
Bob (456-123)
Jane (987 - 789)
I understand I cannot easily run a SELECT * WHERE ... query in VBA ?
I want to run a simple Select query but use variables from the Form vba for the WHERE clause selections.
I am having a problem with a Dlookup query. I want to achieve the following - I have 2 different tables
Demography Table - consisting of 2 fields, City and Region
For example
City Region
NYC NAM
The other Table totalflow consists of several field, one of the is flow from.
For example
Flow from
NYC
WAS
SEA
I want to do the following. Lookup the Flow from filed in table totalflow, and compare it to City in demography Table. If City = Flow from, return the value in Region. All are text fields.
I have tried following Query, but it only returns the same value for all rows. (from SQL view)
SELECT DLookUp("[Region]","Demography Table","[City] = '" &[Flow from]& "'") AS test
FROM [Demography Table], flowsize;
Quick question that I suddenly have gotten stuck on: How do I use a global var in the query builder grid as a parameter? It keeps putting quotes around it - ?!

I have 3 different forms, each belonging to 3 different tables. The user is required to enter data on form 1 then form 2 & then form 3. The records on all the 3 forms has to be attached to the same primary key.
The problem is that the user has to enter the same primary key for each form.
I want to be able to carry the primary key entered on form 1 to form 2 and form 3, so that the user does not have to type it 3 times. How can i accomplish this ? Can i call the last primary key entered on table 1 and automatically pop it up on form 2 & 3 every time form 2 & 3 load?
Thanks
Is there a way that I can search the queries in my Access Database for certain text string? If someone knows please post some tips.
Thanks...
All my users have a shortcut on there computer to the database.
What I like to do is create a new shortcut.
But I don't want to go to each users desk and change the old one to to new one.
There should be someway that you can do a global change.
Anybody have an idea how this can be done?
Hi,
My company has renamed a product. I want to find all the records in all the tables in my database that might have the old name, and replace with the new name. What's the easiest way to do this?
I don't really want to have to manually open each table and do a find.
I can write code to go through all the tabledefs and do a find on each one, but the only way I know to do that is by telling it the field name, and field names where the product name might exist vary.
I suppose I can tell it something like
for each TD in tabledefs
for each F in td.fields
{search and replace}
next f
next t
Is this really the best way? I have a program called SpeedFerret, which I thought would do this, but it apparently only searches the table names, not the actual records in the table.
I am trying to use a global variable in a dlookup but get an error when i try and run the form
Here is the code:
VUserID is my Global Variable.

UsersName = DLookup("[Name]", "tbl Password", "[username] = vUserID")
End Sub
Any Ideas
Got a problem trying to reference a global variable in the control source of a text box.
If i do a DLookup when the form opens and have the text box value = the result it works fine ie
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Text2.Value = DLookup("UserName", "Users", "[UserID]= " & MyUserID)
End Sub
Where MyUserID is the global variable.
if i put
= DLookup("UserName", "Users", "[UserID]= " & MyUserID)
in the control source of Text2 i get #Name? as a result and if i input
= DLookup("UserName", "Users", "[UserID]= 1")
i get the correct result.
As a test i tried to have the control source = my global variable, of another text box control source with the same result.
It looks like i can only reference my global variable within the VB and not in the forms control sources. Is this correct or can you referece the Global variable in the control source.

I have an application where several different procedures are run repeatedly every xx seconds to get live updates from a server (different procedures depending which form the user currently has open.) Within each procedure, a separate single procedure is called only if a stored boolean setting is set as true. The setting itself is only changed very infrequently, such as on application startup, but needs to be initially set (i.e. it cannot just have a default of False if it is not set.)Because of this I am storing the setting in a single record table and have a function 'UsingWPilot' to return the boolean value. However, given the frequency that the setting needs to be accessed, and the fact that speed is crucial in the running of the app, I am considering adding a global string variable and modifying the function to look at the variable (possible values 'N' and 'Y') and only going to the table if the variable has not been set.
I have heard various things about how you should never if possible use global variables. My question is: is it faster to use a global variable than to open the table record each time?
option 1 :
Code:
Public Function UsingWPilot() As Boolean
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("rbl_Settings_System")
Option 2:
Code:
Public Function UsingWPilot() As Boolean
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
If Len(g_WPilot) > 0 Then
UsingWPilot = (g_WPilot = "Y")
Else
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tbl_Settings_System")

I have a text field in a Table and on a Query called "Notes" In that field that has data like below:
[04/02/2015:BD] Project is to be assessed by Solutions Planning
[03/27/2015:BD] Project prioritized
[03/14/15:BR] Entered to system
Im trying to find a way to pull just the most recent line of text, in this case
[04/02/2015:BD] Project is to be assessed by Solutions Planning
into the field next to "Notes" or wherever - an empty field in the query. I searched around, found some stuff and I was thinking of having the code look at the first "[" and count the length to the next "[" and pull out whats in between. Looks like the bracket causes issues in the module.
how I can convert the first column to show the number? I used the expression below, but it does not convert anything with a letter or a 0

How to reference current row in SQL string? I have a qst while using RowSource. I have 3 tables:
[1] CITY
col: _value _name
[2] STREET
col: _city _value _name
[3] ADDRESS
cal: city street
The problem ocurred when i designed ADDRESS table:
The RowSource of [city] is "SELECT _name, _value FROM CITY".
And I set the binding-column as 2, so that _name can be displayed and the real value is _value(integer).
But here comes the trouble: how can i set the RowSource of [street]?
The _value of STREET table depends on _city, and _city is _value in CITY table.
E.g. _name of STREET is "Wall Street" when (_city,_value) = (1,1),
But "Lincoln Avenue" when (_city,_value) = (2,1)
I want to use "SELECT _name, _value FROM STREET WHERE _city=CurrentRow.city" as RowSource, but what can replace the "CurrentRow"?
