How to notify when a checkbox is checked - ms-access

Change on checkbox is not recognized when the check is performed by custom function.
We have form where checkboxes can be clicked. In this case the record will be added to a list, which will be updated with a save function. And there is mentioned function to check all check boxes, but this does not behave like when i click an individual checkbox.
code "Select all"
Private Sub Befehl83_Click()
With Me.RecordsetClone
.MoveFirst
Do Until .EOF
.Edit
!visited = True
.update
.MoveNext
Loop
End With
End Sub
clicked on checkbox
Private Sub chkVisited_Click()
If Not visitedList.Contains(Me.Form.Recordset.Fields("trainingMeasureID").Value) Then
visitedList.Add Me.Form.Recordset.Fields("trainingMeasureID").Value
Else
visitedList.Remove Me.Form.Recordset.Fields("trainingMeasureID").Value
End If
End Sub
Currently the state of checkboxes is not saved when used the select-all function. Only when a checkbox is selected individually.
It should save correctly in both cases.

Here's a not so ideal solution:
Private Sub Befehl83_Click()
With Me.Recordset
.MoveFirst
Do Until .EOF
.Edit
.Fields("visited") = True
.Update
Call chkVisited_Click()
.MoveNext
Loop
End With
End Sub
This will actively update the record set, you'll actually see the active record moving in the form.
Another solution would be to rebuild your code and do your updates directly to the underlying data source based on your form's recordset. Then update your list accordingly.
According to the docs, RecordsetClone is a read-only copy of the form's recordset. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/access.form.recordsetclone

Use the AfterUpdate event:
Private Sub Befehl83_Click()
With Me.RecordsetClone
.MoveFirst
Do Until .EOF
If !visited.Value = False Then
.Edit
!visited.Value = True
.update
End If
.MoveNext
Loop
End With
End Sub

MS Access Recordset Moving on Search even if no match found?

This is driving me nuts. I have an access VBA form where I want to allow users to type a document number into a box in order to jump directly to that record.
The underlying table as a field "DocNum", and the number is always sequential. I want the searchbox to display the current Doc Number the user is on, if they type in a different number and hit enter, it should either jump to that record if it exists, or if it doesn't exist, stay on the current record.
I'm trying to accomplish thisby having a hidden textbox bound to "DocNum", and an unbound visible box on top of it. On Form_Current() the unbound box is made to match the underlying field. After, update I run the following code to perform the search.
Private Sub txt_DocNumSearch_AfterUpdate()
Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
With rs
rs.FindFirst "[DocNum] = " & Str(Me![txt_DocNumSearch])
If rs.NoMatch Then
MsgBox "Record not found."
GoTo Cleanup
Else
Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
Exit Sub
End If
End With
Cleanup:
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set dbs = Nothing
End Sub
What's driving me insane is that even when it doesn't find a match.... it skips to the next record anyway. No matter what I do... move last, trying to bookmark before I even search, etc... I can't get it to not jump forward. What am I missing?
Try simplifying it:
Private Sub txt_DocNumSearch_AfterUpdate()
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
With rs
.FindFirst "[DocNum] = " & Str(Me![txt_DocNumSearch])
If .NoMatch Then
MsgBox "Record not found."
Else
Me.Bookmark = .Bookmark
End If
.Close
End With
End Sub

Move to another record via combobox doesn't work in some circumstances

I have two forms: ‘frmClient’, (which has a subform that lists applicants), and ‘frmDisclosure’, which shows details of applicants. On frmClient there is a command button that opens a specified record in frmDisclosure. The procedure is Private Sub Command10_Click() - see below. This works.
The problem is that once in frmDisclosure via frmClient, it is not possible to move to another record. The procedure for opening another record in frmDiscloure is in a combobox control: Private Sub ComboFind_AfterUpdate().
This normally works, but it never works if frmDiscloure has been opened via frmClient. I have tried ‘requery’ and ‘refresh’ in various situations, and have tried closing frmClient once frmDisclosure is open. None of this works. If I want to get to a different record, the only solution I have at present is to close frmDisclosure and reopen it.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Private Sub Command10_Click()
If NumForms > 0 Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmDisclosure"
Forms!frmDisclosure.FilterOn = False
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmDisclosure", acNormal, "", "[DiscPK]=" & Me.DiscPK, , acNormal
Else
DisplayMessage ("No form ref for this application.")
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Private Sub ComboFind_AfterUpdate()
Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
rs.FindFirst "[DiscPK] = " & Str(Nz(Me![ComboFind], 0))
If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
End Sub
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
frmDisclosure is opened to a single record, there are no other records to navigate. The RecordsetClone has only one record, so of course code won't find any others. Turn off the filter first:
Private Sub ComboFind_AfterUpdate()
Me.FilterOn = False
With Me.RecordsetClone
.FindFirst "[DiscPK] = " & Nz(Me.ComboFind, 0)
If Not .NoMatch Then Me.Bookmark = .Bookmark
End With
End Sub
As you can see, declaring and setting a recordset object variable is not required. .EOF would probably work just as well, I have just always used NoMatch. This will set focus to record, not filter the form.
If you prefer to display single record, then set the Filter property.
Private Sub ComboFind_AfterUpdate()
Me.Filter = "DiscPK=" & Nz(Me.ComboFind, 0)
End Sub

Button to turn change AllowEdits to true in Access using VB

I am trying create a button which changes the value of AllowEdits to False and another for true for a subform. I am using the below code. I get a Runtime error 424 each time I run it.
Option Compare Database
Private Sub Toggle_Edit_Click()
Dim strForm As String
strFormName = Me.Name
Call ToggleEdit(Me)
End Sub
and
Option Compare Database
Public strFormName As String
Sub ToggleEdit(myForm As Form)
Call Message
ctrlControl.AllowEdits = True
End Sub
and if you were interested
Sub Message()
MsgBox "Remember not to overwrite incorrect records"
End Sub
Please add Option Explicit at top of your modules!
I think AllowEdits is a Form property, not a Control property.
Option Explicit
Sub ToggleEdit(myForm As Form)
myForm.AllowEdits = Not myForm.AllowEdits
End Sub
If the code is behind the form itself, you can use Me.
Sub ToggleEdit() 'no parameter
Me.AllowEdits = Not Me.AllowEdits
End Sub
If you want to act at control level, use Locked or Enabled properties.

Access - Duplicate Record button creates a blank record

I've got a fairly simple database, 5000 records about 60-70 fields, and I created a button to copy the current record and blank out some of the fields (which we called EXPAND).
I recently received a requests to do the same thing without blanking out any fields but it doesn't work. I used the Command Button wizard on my form and chose the Duplicate option, but the new record is completely blank. Additionally, I get an error message when I close the record that talks about "A large amount of data copied to the clipboard". I tried the original button I had made (EXPAND) and it resulted in the same issue. Searching back through old records, I see that it was working as recently as 6/10/2016 (10 days ago).
Has something changed which would prevent this code from executing properly? Is there a new setting/option I need to enable to get it working again? Or is there some alternative method I can use to accomplish the same result?
Here is the (very simple) code the system created to duplicate the record (which doesn't work):
Private Sub cmdDuplicate_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdDuplicate_Click
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdCopy
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdRecordsGoToNew
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPaste
Exit_cmdDuplicate_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_cmdDuplicate_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdDuplicate_Click
End Sub
The fastest and simplest way is to use DAO and the RecordsetClone of the form:
Private Sub cmdDuplicate_Click()
Dim rstSource As DAO.Recordset
Dim rstInsert As DAO.Recordset
Dim fld As DAO.Field
If Me.NewRecord = True Then Exit Sub
Set rstInsert = Me.RecordsetClone
Set rstSource = rstInsert.Clone
With rstSource
If .RecordCount > 0 Then
' Go to the current record.
.Bookmark = Me.Bookmark
With rstInsert
.AddNew
For Each fld In rstSource.Fields
With fld
If .Attributes And dbAutoIncrField Then
' Skip Autonumber or GUID field.
ElseIf .Name = "SomeFieldToPreset"
rstInsert.Fields(.Name).Value = SomeValue
ElseIf .Name = "SomeFieldToExclude
' Leave blank
Else
' All other fields.
' Copy field content.
rstInsert.Fields(.Name).Value = .Value
End If
End With
Next
.Update
' Go to the new record and sync form.
.MoveLast
Me.Bookmark = .Bookmark
.Close
End With
End If
.Close
End With
Set rstInsert = Nothing
Set rstSource = Nothing
End Sub
I think the easiest way may to create an append query. Set the criteria field as the ID of the current record. This can be done pretty easily in the query design window.
No error message?
Do you have a Primary Key ID field on the form that doesn't allow you to copy duplicate ID?

Access: How can I display a new record in one form after creating in a second form

Access 2007: I have one form with 100s of records displayed. I have a second form for editing or creating new records. When I return to the first form after adding a new record, I do On Activate: Me.Requery so the new record is added to the list, but I would like it to display on the screen with the record selector on the new record. Is there a way to do this? I am assuming that I save the ID in a global variable, but not sure what to do next. Thanks.
RESPONSE:
Thanks //t. Your answer got me going in the right direction. I will post my solution, which I think is more of a work-around. There has to be a better solution, but this seems to work.
Form 1 (list) -> Form 2 (edit/new) and create new record.
Private Sub Form_Current ()
glngID = Me.ID.Value
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Close
gstrLastForm = "Form2"
End Sub
When I close Form 2, Form 1 is active.
Private lngSelectedRecord as Long
Private Sub Form_Activate()
Me.Requery
FindSelectedRecord
If gstrLastForm = "Form2" Then
DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, "Form1", acGoTo, lngSelectedRecord
End If
End Sub
Private Sub FindSelectedRecord()
...
Open recordset, move through records, increment counter, exit when ID found
...
lngSelectedRecord = intCounter
...
End Sub
This is usually done with a form opened in dialog mode. In most cases, you'd have a command button on your main form ADD NEW RECORD, that when clicked would run code like this:
DoCmd.OpenForm "MyAddForm", , , , acFormAdd, acDialog
This opens the form you use for adding a new record to a new, empty record, and pauses the code.
However, you need to know the PK of the record that was added, so you can't just close the form and let the code continue. So, the usual practice is to set the dialog form's Visible property to False, get the data out of it that you need, then close it and do what you want:
Dim lngPK As Long
DoCmd.OpenForm "MyAddForm", , , , acFormAdd, acDialog
If Forms!MyAddForm.Tag <> "Cancel" Then
lngPK = Forms!MyAddForm!PK
Application.Echo False
Me.Requery
With Me.RecordsetClone
.FindFirst "[PK]=" & lngPK
If Not .NoMatch Then
If Me.Dirty Then
Me.Dirty = False
End If
Me.Bookmark = .Bookmark
End If
End With
Application.Echo True
End If
DoCmd.Close acForm, "MyAddForm"
In the dialog form, you have to hide the default window controls so the user can't close it. Instead, have two command buttons SAVE and CANCEL. The SAVE button does this:
If Me.Dirty Then
Me.Dirty = False
End If.
Me.Visible = False
...and the CANCEL button does this:
Me.Undo
Me.Tag = "Cancel"
Me.Visible = False
The result is that you know that a record was not saved so you don't want to do anything to the calling form.
This is all standard Access user interface design, and it's by far the easiest and most bulletproof method for doing this kind of thing.
Use the on_close-method in your popup window to go to the inserted record,
something like:
private sub on_close()
'maby first check we're not undoing..
docmd.gotoRecord yourform,yournewid
me.close
(on osx currently, but I hope you get the concept...)
