We have Order DB in Access where we collect and send Order confirmation to Clients. In Order Form I click button to open Confirmation Report in Normal view. I have "Send Report" button on opened report to send it to Client in PDF format.
All works grate with small reports. Problem arrise when report has 15-20 or more pages. After some investigation I found out that at time of report load user press Send button and report simply not being fully formated and sending action just fails.
I cannot find correct event to check if report is finished formatting. It would help me to make Send button enabled true/false based on that status.
May be you can use 'OnPrint' event of the report footer's section: "event occurs after data in a report section is formatted for printing, but before the section is printed"
I solved it at last.
switched on docmd.Hourglass before button which opens the Report (button is located on Order Form) and switched off docmd.Hourglass on exit sub.
in OnClick event of "Send" button at the top did the check for MousePointer
If Screen.MousePointer = 11 Then Exit Sub
Now User is not able to start sending until all process of button on Order Form is finished. That is actualy strange but somehow it solved the issue. Thank you all for help!

I have written MS Access VBA code.
I have written License code in Form_Open Event. License code is available in the registry. During opening the form, the registry value will be compared with the hard coded value inside the code. If both are same, then it will open the form. If both value are not same, It will displayed the message and close the Access application(Application.Quit), You are not authenticated to use the tool.
Now I forgot the password in the VBA code.
As soon as open the form, due to both value are mismatched, Modal message box is displayed and I could not open the VBA code at all.
I do not know how to disable the Form_Open event.
Please help me to disable the Form_Open event, and open the VBA code.
Hold the Shift key pressed when opening the database to prevent the automatic execution of code or opening of forms.
Then you can open the form in Design view and its code.
I'm able to capture a click on a "Cancel" button while an Access Query is running. I would like to then be able to cancel the Query. Is there any way to programmatically (via VBA) cancel a running Query in Access?
Even if I could send a Ctrl-Break to cancel the Query, that would cause an error message box to pop up (with "Code Execution Has Been Interrupted"), which I don't want.
I created a Macro in MS Access 2010 for the OnLoad event of a report that hides a subform on the report if a check box on the report is not checked. That works fine but what I am trying to do now is have the same thing happen when I click the button that activates a macro calling the EMailDatabaseObject function that generates an email with a pdf of the report attached. The email with the attached pdf works fine but the macro doesn't run.
What event do I attach the macro to so that it happens when it is outputted to pdf?
Move the existing macro from the On Load event to the On Open event of the report.
I have a form that has the navigate buttons on the bottom.
I would like to run some code every time the user navigates to a different record.
Under which event handler would I place this code? Form_OnLoad only runs the code when I open the form. I'm a bit lost. Thanks!
You should use the Current Event.
I have a database in MS Access and within it I am holding dates for expirations for SSL's. I want to set a reminder for any SSL that is soon to expire. Anyone know the easiest way to go about this?
It all depends on how you want the notification to work.
You can pop-up a form when the database opens
or at any time using a timer
or in a form event
You can build events into Outlook
You can run some script in the task manager
You can send an email using any of the above.
The easiest way to pop-up a form may be to create a form that runs when the database opens or when the menu form opens. This can be set in the start-up options. The form should be based on a query that checks for out of date records and is only made visible if there is data. You can check the recordset in the load event to see if anything is returned. This for can also use DoCmd.SendObject to send an email.
