Access :: Using The FindFirst Method With DAO

Queries :: Proper Syntax For FindFirst Method

Nov 15, 2013

I can't seem to figure out the proper syntax for the FindFirst method. I am using several variations of this effort:

Dim dbs As dao.Database
Dim rst As dao.Recordset
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("tblInvoice", dbOpenDynaset)
rst.FindFirst "rst!ID = frmInvoice!txtID"

I get an error message that says that Access doesn't recognize rst.ID as a valid field. But, it most certainly is. I tried substituting tblInvoice but got the same error.

Forms :: Locate A Record On Multirecord Form By Using Findfirst Method

Mar 8, 2014

I am trying to locate a record on a multirecord form by using Findfirst method. Here is the code.

Dim UA1 As String, UAE1 As String, UA2 As String, UAE2 As String, UA3 As String, UAE3 As String, apost as string, repl as string
apost = "'"
repl = "''"
UA1 = Nz(Forms(ParName).Form.NAME, " ")
UAE1 = Replace(UA1, apost, repl)

[Code] ....

This code sometimes works and sometimes it does not work. The field CNO is a text field of 5 characters but contains the card numbers that is numeric data or nothing.

MySQL & FindFirst

May 9, 2005

Hello,
I hope I have posted this to the correct forum?
Anyways, I have started porting my database backend to MySQL after a spate of corruptions and speed degrading daily, I have managed to get most things functional but one thing which I can not get working is an odd thing with the FindFirst statement.
I have the following line of code...

rst2.FindFirst "AwaitingStock=True and StockIn=False and DOA=False and Model='" & Trim(Me.Model) & "'"

which works find with Access backend but with MySQL I get the error...

Run-time error '3761':
The decimal field's precision is too small to accept the numeric you attempted to add.

This is obviously not the correct error as I am not trying to add anything!
If I remove the bit about the Model, the code executes fine, also, if I remove all the =True parts and just leave the Model part everything works fine so I guess it is because I am mixing string and integer fields in the search???

Any help greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Tom Findlay

Rst.FindFirst Problem

Mar 2, 2005

Hello All

I just discovered the reason why my table has not been working the way I want it to. In my code below, I have set my rst to find the first record of the previous month which in itself is correct, however I just discovered that it is picking up the records in ascending order.

Here is my code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit

Private Sub Button5_Click()

Dim prevMonth As Integer
Dim curMonth As Integer
Dim prevYear As Integer
Dim curYear As Integer
Dim CurRecordMonth As Integer
Dim rst As Recordset
Dim rst2 As Recordset
Dim db As Database
Dim monthText As Variant

Set db = CurrentDb

'fill an array with the text for months names
monthText = Array("", "Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec")

' find previous and current Year and month. If current month = jan then go back to Dec of the year before
curMonth = Month(Date)
curYear = Year(Date)
prevYear = Year(Date)
prevMonth = Month(Date) - 1

If prevMonth = 0 Then
prevMonth = 12
prevYear = prevYear - 1
End If

' count number of existing records for current year and month
' If DCount("Month", "TTransactions", "month = '" & monthText(curMonth) & "' and year = " & curYear) = 0 Then

If DCount("Month", "tTransactions", "month = " & curMonth & " and year = " & curYear) < 2 Then
'if current month and year does not exist in table
' open table and find last months record
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("tTransactions", dbOpenDynaset)
rst.FindFirst "month = " & prevMonth & " and year = " & prevYear
' open table again to write a new record
Set rst2 = db.OpenRecordset("tTransactions", dbOpenDynaset)
Do Until rst.NoMatch ' loop through all records meeting the criteria
rst2.AddNew
rst2![TelNo] = rst![TelNo]
rst2!Year = curYear
rst2!Month = curMonth
rst2!Rental = rst!Rental
rst2![Fees] = rst![Fees]
rst2![Vat] = rst![Vat]
rst2.Update
rst.FindNext "month = " & prevMonth & " and year = " & prevYear
Loop
rst.Close
rst2.Close
Set rst = Nothing
Set rst2 = Nothing
End If
Set db = Nothing

End Sub

Function CallButton5()

Call Button5_Click

End Function

I have put in an autonumber to assign sequential numbers to the records as they are entered. This I had hoped would allow me to sort my query by autonumber, however if the findfirst keeps finding the records in ascending order then I'm lost. Is there any way to get round this?

Thank you Kindly

Recordset - FindFirst Issues

Feb 23, 2005

Hello,

I have a procedure that searches a table (recordset 1) for values in a lookup table (recordset 2) using FindFirst / FindNext. The routine worked fine until recently, I now have two issues;

I have included a new country in the lookup table - Cote D'Ivoire, now I get an error message when it reaches this name. I guess it's the " ' " that is causing the problem but don't know how to get round it!!??

I have modified the program so I can select the field I want to search from a form (thanks John) but it won't accept the field name as it's not part of the recordset e.g. rstTempTable.findfirst "[Field] = etc. How can I pass the chosen field from the form to the recordset?

Thanks in advance .....

Bookmarking Recordsets FindFirst

Sep 27, 2005

Need a little help with a record selector.
I ask it to find a record and bookmark it. No problem.
If record doesnt exist I get the value from a control and run a Insert Into command into my table creating a new record with that case #.

Now how do I modify the code below to make the new record just inserted into the bookmarked record. See sample code below. I'm not too practiced when it comes to this recordset business.

Any help is appreciated

Private Sub FindTheRecord()
' Find the record that matches the control.
Dim rs As Object
Dim Answer As String
Dim aSQL As String

Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[CaseNo] = " & Str(Nz(Me![CaseNo]))
If rs.NoMatch Then
Answer = MsgBox("No Matching Case Number Found." & vbCrLf & "Would you like to start a new" & vbCrLf & "record using this case number?", vbYesNo)
If Answer = 6 Then
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
aSQL = "Insert Into Main ([CaseNo])Values ([Forms]![frmMain]![CaseNo]);"
DoCmd.RunSQL aSQL
DoCmd.SetWarnings True

DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, "frmMain", acLast
Code: Original - Code ' does not recognize the last record just added to the table, is there a command I can use here? ' does not recognize the last record just added to the table, is there a command I can use here?

Else
MsgBox "Action Cancelled"
CaseNum = ""
CaseNumYear = ""
DoCmd.GoToControl "CaseNum"
End If
Else
Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
Call EnableControls
End If
End Sub

Is This The Best Method?

Jan 8, 2008

Hi,

I have a form which has a subform. For each record, I have to assign a user, which comes from a user table. Due to the large number of users I have created a user selection form, which is designed as a popup. This form has an option group to select department, which then filters a combo box for selection of a user. On clicking a user, the window closes and that username is inserted into the form.

Since this particular user form will be used in multiple locations, I was thinking of having a global variable, which is set when a field is clicked. i.e. a variable called nameSelect. When a user is being assigned in form A, the user field is clicked, nameSelect = 3.

I was then thinking of having within the user selection form coding a Select Case function which depending on the value of nameSelect assigned the selected user to the correct location.

Is this the best method to tackle this?

Best Method Of Storing This Data?

Jun 7, 2005

Hi everyone,

I've recently begun building a database to keep track of stock at work. Nothing particularly special or difficult. I have a little bit of prior experience with Access and VB, but not heaps.

Basically, I've created a tables for parts, companies etc, and am relating all the data together.

At the moment I've made a form that allows you to enter a new part, with Part Number, Description, Category, Supplier, etc.

The complication comes when I want to create an ASSEMBLY of parts. I'd like to create an assembly (which has a lot of similarities to a part, in that it has a part number, description etc), and that assembly needs to store a list of parts that it includes. A simple assembly might include a few items, ie, a bowl of meatballs includes the bowl, a fork, the spaghetti, and 5 meatballs. A more complex assembly (a complete dinner for 5) might include 5 bowls of meatballs (a sub assembly), pepper and salt, 5 glasses and two bottles of coke.

I'm not sure how to best store this assembly data...

I can't really have a table with a finite number of "part" spots because the assemblies get quite large. I'd rather not use an ugly VB macro that stores the PartID's with quantities either, as that could get thoroughly out of hand pretty quickly.

I'm sure there must be a simple method for doing this, but without having a clue as to what it might be called I can't really look for it in help!

Any clues you guys could give me would be great.

Thanks

Col.

Best Method To Display Data.

Jan 28, 2007

Hello. I am quite new to Access and even newer to this forum. So please be gentle...

My question is quite simple i think. I want to display one particular record.

I have a keyboard wedge barcode scanner.. so basically a quicker and easier way to input digits or letters into a field. I also have lots and lots of CD's DVD's which i want to track and list the contents of, by simply entering the cd/dvd's barcode number istead of having to insert into my pc and browse manually.. if possible searching within results would be good too.~
think of it as a supermarket style.. input number - output entire contents... there could be hundreds or even thousands of programs or music titles,images, videos or documents.. along with any associated data, (where it is stored, who borrowed it last etc)

Can anbody outline the basics for me to implement this? remember i am quite new to Access and databases in general.

Thanks in advance, and keep up the good work on/in this forum. :)

What's The Best Method Of Duplicating A Record?

Feb 22, 2005

Hi,

I want to be able to make an exact copy of an existing record in a table and then change the value of a couple of the fields before writing it to the table as a new record.

What is the best way to go about this? I guess it is possible with select, update and append queries but I'd rather do it in code.

It sounds like it should be a simple and commonly performed exercise but I can't find anything on it.

Thanks in advance!

Use Of OutputTo Method In Macros

Apr 7, 2005

Hi guys,

I�m working on a report that I want to show on the web as a Snapshot file. I created a Macro using OutputTo method to export the report. If I type the file name and location on the Output File it works perfectly, but the problem is that I want Macros to read the file name from a combo box since the file name will change every day. Here is the code I got so far.

C:Test��&FORMS!frm_FORM2!cbo_Name&�.snp�

Every time I run this Macro I got the following message:

�The report snapshot was not created because you don�t have enough free disk space for temporary work files.�

Now!, when I type the file name to that specific location Macro does the job perfectly.

Is there any way I can get the File name from a combo box located in FORM2.

Thank you so very much in advanced. Your help is always a blessing.

DoMenuItem To RunCommand Method

Aug 2, 2006

To save records in a form, close the form and open a switchboard, I have the following Event code on clicking a command button on the form:

'Command on last page to save records and go to Switchboard
Private Sub OpenSwitchboard_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_OpenSwitchboard_Click

DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.Close acForm, "CaseNotes", acSaveYes
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSwitchboard"

Exit_OpenSwitchboard_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_OpenSwitchboard_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_OpenSwitchboard_Click

End Sub

This seems to work okay in Access 2000, but I understand the DoMenuItem method is obsolete, and that I should replace "DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70" to a RunCommand method, but I am not sure about this.
I would be grateful for any help in replacing this piece of DoMethod code with RunCommand code! mcchu
