Setting focus in MS Access - ms-access

I am creating a recordset from a Qdefs and then displaying the records in a form.
When I filter the values, focus is going to the first record. But, I want the focus to point to the same record that was in focus before filtering.
This is how am creating a recordset from an existing querydefs before and after filtering
db.QueryDefs("Query_vinod").Sql = filter
Set rs_Filter_Rowsource = db.OpenRecordset("Abfr_SSCI_Check_Findings_List")

I think you can do this by using a bookmark. Set up a RecordsetClone and then find your active record by using the FindFirst method. I have some sample code that will need to be modified a little to fit your exact variables:
Dim Rs As Recordset
Dim Test As Integer
Dim varBookmark As Variant
DoCmd.OpenForm "Contracts"
Set Rs = Forms!Contracts.RecordsetClone
Rs.FindFirst ("[ID] = '" & Me![ID] & "'")
varBookmark = Rs.Bookmark
Forms!Contracts.Form.Bookmark = varBookmark
If Rs.NoMatch Then
MsgBox "That does not exist in this database."
Else
End If

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

Access 2013, Extract number from field to use in search

Have a sales proposal access database for work that has a field that you can put a earlier corresponding proposal number as a reference. If you click on a button under that field it will take you directly to that earlier record. There are times we have a prefix in front of the number A-12345, E-12345 or it might just be 12345.
I need to be able to grab just the number without the letter and - for the search to work correctly. Thanks
Here is the image of my screen
Assuming you have a table with columns Proposal and Reference and a single form with controls txtReference and txtProposal, put this code to the On_Click event of your form button (I'm using DAO):
Dim strProposal As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
If Len(Nz(Me.txtReference, "")) < 1 Then
MsgBox "No reference number entered"
Else
For i = 1 To Len(Me.txtReference)
If IsNumeric(Mid(Me.txtReference, i, 1)) Then
strProposal = strProposal & Mid(Me.txtReference, i, 1)
End If
Next
End If
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
rs.MoveFirst
rs.FindFirst "Proposal = '" & StrProposal & "'"
If rs.NoMatch Then
MsgBox "Original proposal not found"
Else
Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
Me.txtProposal.SetFocus
End If
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing

Auto Populate Access Form using simple VBA code by setting a variable

I was recently given the task of creating a form that will autofill with the information from a table. The information the form autofills is selected using a primary key called ModID. I have a combo box that has a List of the ModIDs that are listed as Active.
SELECT ModID
FROM P_Review
WHERE Status = "Active"
Simple enough. I then have VBA code running on the event After Update. So after the value for the combo box is select or changed it will run this VBA code.
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub selectModID_AfterUpdate()
'Find the record that matches the control.
On Error GoTo ProcError
Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
With rs
.FindFirst "ModID=" & Me.selectModID
If Not .NoMatch Then
Me.Bookmark = .Bookmark
Else
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdRecordsGoToNew
Me!localModID = Me.selectModID.Column(0)
End If
End With
ExitProc:
Exit Sub
ProcError:
MsgBox "Error: " & Err.Number & ". " & Err.Description
Resume ExitProc
End Sub
The code runs fine (I get no errors when I debug or run).
Now for the access text box. I would like to populate certain fields based off the variable localModID. I have a dlookup in a text box to find the information in the table P_Review.
=DLookUp("Threshold","P_Review","ModID =" & [localModID])
So the DlookUp should find the value for the column threshold, in the table P_Review, where the ModID in P_Review equals the localModID set in the VBA code. But when I go to form view and select a ModID I get the Error 3070: The Microsoft Access database engine does not recognize as a valid field name or expression. I did copy this code from another database we are already using but it fails in this new instance.
Private Sub ModID_AfterUpdate()
Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
With rs
.FindFirst "ModID='" & Me.ModID & "'"
If Not .NoMatch Then
Me.Bookmark = .Bookmark
Else
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Me!ModID = Me.ModID
End If
End With
End Sub
This is the answer to question. I used this code to auto update.
Try
Forms!<whatever_this_form_name_is>![localModID]
in your DLOOKUP

Cannot Update. Database or Object is Read-only after Requery

Okay, cannot find anything online about this error, so here goes.
Using Access 2003. I have a form that has a combobox dropdown. Users choose from the dropdown, and the VBA code looks at a particular table to see if data already exists. If it finds it, it displays the data associated with the record. If it does not find it, it adds a new record to the table, then tries to display the new data. The problem is that when using the following code, it does not display the new data, unless I add in Me.Requery. However, if I do that, it then gives me the above error if I try to do the same process again.
So, how can I get the data to display after adding without the above error?
Here is the relevant code...
' Find the record that matches the control.
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
'if no record found, then add a default record
If IsNull(Combo119) Then
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM [Master Reject Data]")
rs.AddNew
rs.Fields("production Date") = Date
rs.Fields("Work Order #") = Combo119.Column(0)
rs.Fields("Product Type") = ""
rs.Fields("Shift") = ""
rs.Fields("Line") = ""
rs.Fields("# Produced") = 0
rs.Fields("Reject Type") = ""
rs.Fields("Reject Quantity") = 0
rs.Fields("Reject Category") = "Rejection"
Dim tRec As Long
tRec = Combo142.ItemData(0)
rs.Fields("Report Number") = tRec
rs.Update
Me.Requery 'this is the line I added to try to get the data to appear
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[Report Number] = " & tRec 'navigate to the newly added record
Else
rs.FindFirst "[Report Number] = " & Nz(Me![Combo119], 0) 'navigate to the record with the requested report number
End If
If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
Sorry, found the issue after looking at it again. The problem is that the Me.Requery statement needs to be Me.Recordset.Requery. After doing that and adding Me.Refresh, it works as intended.
To avoid requerying I think you should open the recordset specifying that it should be a dynaset
CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM [Master Reject Data]", dbOpenDynaset) - in case you want to make it a bit neater. as for the small bug, I see you've already found yourself

Copying a record in VBA 2 (the new question)

I have this code that I am trying to copy a record with in VBA. Unfortunately I cannot get it to work. I do not knw why it won't do anything.
Dim OldRecord As DAO.Recordsets, NewRecord As DAO.Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "SELECT [Tote Log].* FROM [Tote Log] WHERE Number = " & _
Me.tbScannerRead.Value
Set OldRecord = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
If OldRecord.Count = 1 Then
Set NewRecord = _
CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT [Tote Log].* FROM [Tote Log]")
With NewRecord
.AddNew
For i = 0 To .Fields.Count - 1
.Fields(i).Value = OldRecord.Fields(i).Value
Next i
.Fields("Number").Value = Me.tbScannerRead & "B2"
.Update
varBookMark = .Bookmark
End With
NewRecord = varBookMark
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord
Me.tbMessageBox = "Added new record"
Me.tbMessageBox.Visible = True
GoodToteRead = False
Me.tbScannerRead.SetFocus
End If
I get nothing, I am trying to copying a record from the tote log and change the number from, lets say, L20444 to L20444B2 and have the same field information as the original. This is where I am so far but I get nothing. Ahy Help would be greatly, and I mean greatly, appreciated. Thanks
There are a few things that could be causing it. Here is one. Does your table have a primary key? It looks like you are trying to update the primary key to a value that already exists in the table before changing it. Is this happening on a form? If so Access can get upset at you for changing a recordset behind it's back. a me.undo() before making changes can help. Also if you are on a form you can acomplish the same thing this way. It's a bit hacky, but it is the easy way.
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdCopy
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPaste
As an alternative, I would recommend something along these lines.
Dim sSql As String
Dim sUpdateSuffix as string
sUpdateSuffix="B2"
Const sTableName As String = "[Tote Log] "
sSql = "INSERT INTO "[Tote Log]([number],[whateverelse]) " & _
"SELECT [number]" & sUpdateSuffix & ",[whateverelse] FROM [Tote Log] WHERE Number = " & Me.tbScannerRead.Value
CurrentProject.Connection.Execute sSql
If you want to build the sql string dynamically use the same method as you already used to loop through the fields and build the query string.
me.requery will rebuild the form recordset.
Hope that helps you
Well it might actually be saving the database record but not redisplaying it; I'm having a hard time deciphering that part of the code, and I don't know what your form is bound to.
Anyway, you should open your recordsets like this:
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges)
especially if you are using SQL Server as the backend (which you should).
Once you have saved the record, you should probably just reload the record back into your form by doing a recordset.find(), rather than trying to bookmark it. Bookmarks only work on the same recordset they originated from. This provides round-trip verification that the data was actually saved into the database.
