I have the following in a query to assign a sequence number to each record:
(SELECT Count(*) FROM
[qryPTLActivity] AS T WHERE T.EmployeeID=[qryPTLActivity].[EmployeeID] AND T.PickDateTime <= [qryPTLActivity].[PickDateTime] AND T.PickAisle=[qryPTLActivity].[PickAisle])
I have used this in other databases without issue but for some reason this time I keep getting an "Invalid Argument for Function" error.
I have a query with about 7500 records that are grouped as follows and sorted by Mtr_Reading
ID Name Event_Start_Time _Hour, Mtr_Reading
2210 XYZ 7/15/2013 13:00 17 150
2210 XYZ 7/15/2013 13:00 14 143

2210 XYZ 7/16/2013 12:00 18 110
2210 XYZ 7/16/2013 12:00 15 100
There are about 75 distinct sets of ID's and Names not shown here
The rows were sorted by the Mtr_Readings and we have to take the best four readings out of each group and average them. If a group has more than four rows then the top 4 are taken out and the balance is discarded. If the group has four rows or less all of the rows are taken.
I did try nested select statements and kept getting "invalid argument to function" exceptions.
I have a Form based on a Table of Clients, names and addresses etc. One of the records appears to be corrupt in some way because any time I attempt to access this record, either on the Table or in the Form, I receive an error message "Invalid Argument". The database then shows #Error in every Text Field and I am forced to CTRL Alt Del to close the Database. I cannot even access the record in order to delete it. Any ideas anyone? Thanks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Access 2000 database that occasionally has a popup message "Invalid Argument", which prevents me from running any action queries or codes. Also another Access 2000 database that has the same "Invalid Argument" error from which prevents me to import the tables to another database.
Do anybody know WHY does the error happen? WHAT does it mean? and HOW we fix it??
Please help. Thanks so much
I have a strange error:

PLEASE HELP,
Hi All,
I have 2 errored records in my large access database which I am unable to delete. As I scroll over either of these records I get the error "Invalid Argument" but the database is functional otherwise... Until Today!
Other users can get into the database but I get the "Invalid Argument" error before it even loads the main form.
Can anyone help please?
Many Thanks
Swifty
Every now and again (for no apparant reason) a record in my table becomes corrupted (the fields all change to #Error, Error etc) Also, the relationship between that and another table breaks and when I try to go into the forms I get the "Invalid Argumnent" message
I am running Win XP Pro, with Office 2003 accross a network, with a FE/BE split
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

I have a database that uses quite a lot of outside sources. There are multiple users and each one of us now are getting the invalid argument error. When we received it before it was because the DB was huge. It has since been made smaller. What are other reasons as to why we are getting this error again? We have to get out of the database, compact it and then go back in in order to do anything with it.
Please help! Thank you.
I've apparently hit the two gig limit in access. The database won't let me compact/repair. it wont let me save changes to tables. I can't open access by itself and repair the external table. I'm sure that the database could be shrunk down if I could get it to do the repair! I get an "Invalid Argument" error on everything I try to do.
Anyone experience this? Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
I seem to be having some major problems with one of our tables.
Recently a table that has been fine for a long time has developed something corrupt, so it seems.
I found that the LAST entry in the table is nothing but #Error in every single field. When I open the table, I get 'Invalid Entry'. Clicking the 'Help' brings me to a page about 'Invalid Argument (Error 3001)'.
I have tried recreating the table, and copying back ALL the entries except for the #Error one... but the new table ALSO gives me the same message.
Has anyone seen this before? Is it corrupt data? Is it a corrupt table structure? What would be the best course of action to save the remaining data and get this table back to up and running?
Thank you all for your help,

As soon as I run a Make Table Query I get an "Invalid Argument" message and then I am unable to do anything. I can't even import a .txt file, I get "Invalid Argument" when I do anything.
Is my file corrupt or is there something wrong when I select the query as "Make Table Query"
I keep having to create a new database.....My database is 2G - could it be that it's too large?
I am struggling trying to execute a function inside a Form_current event to display some stats.
The Function is this:
Code:
Function FlightsByAircraft(Aircraft As Long) As Long
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim str As String
str = "SELECT * FROM tblFlights WHERE AircraftID = " & Aircraft
[Code] ....
The code for the Form_Current event is this:
Private Sub Form_Current()
txtStats1 = FlightsByAircraft(Me.AircraftID)
Very simple. Well, the problem is when I move to a new record, a error message comes up: "Run-time error '94' - Invalid use of Null". It is because the AircraftID is not populated at that time. I tried to insert in the function code something like that:
Code:
If IsNull(Aircraft) then
exit function
else
.... (the DAO.Recordset code)
but it doesn't work.
I keeping getting the error "Invalid use of Null" when i call my email function using optional parameters.
Code:
Email Me.ProjectID.Column(1), _
Me.ProjectAddress, _
Me.TaskDescID.Column(1), _
Me.TaskDescExt, _
strStatus, _
Me.TaskStatusID.Column(1), _
[Code] .....
This is my first time on this site. It seems everyone is very helpful here, and I thank you in advance for any advice you give me.
I am a sales manager of a small company and also provide as much IT support as possible. (and by as much as possible, it really isn't much) - We have been receiving an 'Invalid Argument' response each time we search for a new field in any Form or try to pull any Reports. The error message appears twice when running a search in the Forms, then the searched for account appears. When attempting to pull as specific Report, the error message is given, then nothing happens. At this time, we are unable to run any Reports.
I have read that this can happen when your Access database is too large. I don't think that is the issue, it is 1.33KB.
Also - I cannot compact and repair the database.
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!
I have a macro run from an autokey (F12) that uses SendTo to send the current report that's on screen to an email as an attachment. This has been working perfectly for years and all of a sudden when I hit the F12 key I get:
The Object Type argument for the action or method is blank or invalid.
It's fine to just right click the report and use Send To but this is a pain for my users who just want to hit F12 as before.
Anybody help?
Thanks
Hi, in need of some help I'm at my wits end!!
I'm getting "Invalid procedure call or argument" pop up whenever my database uses any of the code. Any form that uses code in the Form_Open section now won't open etc.
This now effects all my forms, i'm 99% sure that i haven't changed anything and have no idea why its happening.
It doesn't seem to matter whether its clicking a button or opening a form it happens for any piece of code.
Anyone have any ideas
Thanks in advance

I have a split database with the back end sitting on a server.
I tried to delete two records (as i have done many times before) and now the fields are just filled with Error#. when I try and delete them from the table one at a time it comes up with Invalid argument (Error 3001) and then Access quits on me. I have tried everything I can think of - compact and repair, trying to copy the table, using all the fields in a make-table query to try and duplicate the table, moving the table off the server to my desktop and then trying to fix it, exporting to an Excel spreadsheet, trying a maketable query excluding these two records...but nothing works.
Any ideas at all at how I can get around this???
We have an Access 2010 database that is accessed by some users from another location. Each user has their own copy of the front end. For some reason two users in our Sydney office enter orders, but after they have entered and saved the order, sometimes for no apparent reason they get an "invalid argument" error message and all the data in the order has been converted to hieroglyphics. I cannot seem replicate this from my server location.
It seems to only occur from our Sydney based server. Could it be that each user's copy of the front end is located on the same virtual drive on our Melbourne based server? Should I move the Sydney user's copies of the front end to the Sydney based server?I think it might be the growing size of the database but I compacting doesn't reduce it by much.
I have a form with a button to print preview a report. This report needs one input parameter before executing. The computer this will run on is a touch screen and does not have a keyboard. Windows 7 has a "on screen keyboard" program. I want this to run first so that my user can input the parameter.
I have the following which throws an "Invalid procedure Call or Argument"
Sub CallTeclado()
Dim RetVal
RetVal = Shell("c:windowssystem32osk.exe", vbNormalNoFocus)
End Sub
I'm developing an application where I want to call the keyboard up on the screen when a user enters a field. This is my setup:
Windows 8.1 32 Bit, Access Runtime 2010.
Exact lines of code are:
Dim RetVal
RetVal = Shell("C:Program FilesCommon Filesmicrosoft sharedinkTabTip.exe")
These lines of code work perfectly fine on my development PC which is running Windows 7 64 bit, Access/Office 32 bit.
I know the path to the exe is good. I can navigate and double click it and it works great. but the shell command is resulting in the invalid procedure.
I'm getting this error (invalid procedure call or argument - DLL error 0, number 5) on my accde file but not on the accdb.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI found this code on a website that uses a form to search all tables in my database. Problem is that when I click "search" I get an invalid argument error. I am guessing that there is a problem with my SQL string. Missing space? Missing quotation marks? etc etc.... Anyway, here is the code:

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem with argument in custom function..My table is like this:
myValues
123.5
32.7
65.8
11.1
What I want to achieve is to multiply each value with the average of all values, so that at the end I get (avg(myValues) = 233.1):
myValues2
7196.963
1905.593
3834.495
646.8525
For this I would like to have a function (this is simplified example of bigger problem, that is why I need function, otherwise simple SQL would suffice as mentioned below also), so that I could do something like this:
'SELECT TestFn([myValues]) as myValues2 From MyTable' or
'SELECT TestFn("[myValues]") as myValues2 From MyTable'
and I should get the table above.
My code is like this
Code:
Public Function TestFn (FieldName) as String
Dim myAvg as Double
myAvg = Davg(FieldName, "myTable")
TestFn = FieldName * myAvg
End Function
I understand the problem is that Davg needs string, but if I change to string then the multiplication does not work. The 'FieldName' parameter does not have a Type specified because that is where the problem is if I give string Avg works ,but calculation does not. If I give Number, avg does not work.
P.S. "as String" at the end of function is not a mistake, I need number as a string
P.P.S I did not inculde NZ either as in my example it can never be Null.
I have just added a function to a database to strip out any commas or quotation marks from a passed string.
However, it is returning a black string even though when I step through the function it creates the out string correctly and the variable "OutString" is populated when the Exit Function command is executed.
Calling code.
InString = Btxt
OutString = ""
Call Strip_String(InString, OutString)
SBtxt = OutString

Hi there,
I was wondering if you would please be able to suggest anything!
I am trying to insert an OLE object (a Word document) into an OLE field. I have been doing this with no problems for over 200 entries. However, now it is not letting me do anything once I have inserted it. If I click on anything a box with "Invalid argument" comes up! Also, if I remove anything from that particular field the same thing happens. I have tried the help option, but it doesn't seem to recognise a solution.
Any suggestions would be greatly recieved!
Thank you in advance!
