I know if I make a code module in Access and place a function in it, I can run a query that has embedded calls to that function. However, I want to know if I can get a function that belongs to the code part of a form to be recognized by Access in a query. So far I cannot find a way, but it seems to me that this should be possible.
Thanks,
Cameron
You can - the function has to be made PUBLIC and the form must be OPEN when you run the query.
Most of the time I put all common functions in a separate code module.

I have a question about the Macro Design in a table for a "After Update" function. In one database that one of my past employees built the "SetField" value as a function call. One of the functions it calls is called GetUserNAme() it is buried in another bas_AuditLog macro, but in a DB that I am building, it doesn't work, even though I thought I had all of the information copied and correct. I have attached an image here that might show my issue. Notice the red exclamation mark.

Perhaps one of you smart people can help me look at an area that in my DB that may have the missing link.
Thanks.
Ok, so in the other (working) applcaiton, there is a going to be a public function called GetUserName(), and it is a VBA function.
So, in that working applcation, you can hit ctrl-g (get to debug window), and then type in GetUserName and then hit shift f2. Your code editor should now jump to that VBA function. You need to copy that code to your new applcation (place it in a plane jane standard code module (not a forms module, and not a class module). and it might very well also use a api call.
So, when you copy over that code. Test and make sure the VBA code works. In most cases in the access debug window, you can type in this:
? GetUserName()
And it should spit out the current windows user name. (or whatever the code supposed to do). So, get the VBA function working, and once you do, then your data macro should now also work.
I'm using Lucerne to build an api, and experimenting with generating those apis based off of a list (they're very simple endpoints). The problem is that the views lucerne uses are just functions, so if I pass (gensym) to the macro at runtime the name of that view function is just set to (gensym) (or it fails, can't remember which).
I'd like to dynamically name a set of those view functions in a macro that will be in a loop of some kind, each time the code that macro has expanded too is run the functions have a new name (so if I just use a standard gensym each time the macro was run each of the functions would always have the same name, and overwrite each other). Is there some way to do this?
You probably want to use intern to create "public" symbols (that the users will be calling by name) and make-symbol for "private" symbols (that are stored somewhere).
I am using a primefaces FileUpload's the sending of multiple files. I would like to know how to perform a function onComplete when all files have been transferred.
I am creating a p: dialog that runs at the beginning, and if I use the onComplete, after the first shipment, it already performs the function. I would run the function after all the items you were completed.
Anyone know?
Edit:
It could also, if I could spend the entire file that was inserted in the list, could control the event from the Bean. Anyone know how I can pass the full list of files included in the upload?
I guess it's not possible. Take a look at this, there's an patch to do what you need: https://code.google.com/p/primefaces/issues/detail?id=3836
I have a macro assigned to the onClick event of a button in a form. How can I call this macro programmatically?
I tried
btnName_Click
But this does not work since there is no function called btnName_Click() ... obviously :)
I can access the onClick Member via Me.btnNewRecord.OnClick but don't see a way to run the macro.
After extensive searching, I do not believe it is possible to reference the embedded macro, and run it. You can view the XML of the macro, but I know of no way of running it or even accessing it beyond it's XML stored as a string. A possible work around would be to convert all macros to VBA. To do this:
Open the form in design view.
Click Convert Form's Macros to Visual Basic
now you should be able to call the button's code with btnName_Click as you showed in your question. Obviously if you did this, you would sacrifice the advantage of using macros (i.e. limited functionality without the user needing to trust your database).
Original Answer, which doesn't apply to Embedded Macros:
Use DoCmd.RunMacro
Example:
Docmd.RunMacro(macroname)
where macroname is a string representing the name of the macro.
I am trying to organize my code for a Spreadsheet in several script files. Within the script editor I can create as many *.gs files as I want, but I can't figure out how to access code that would be defined in another script.
Simple Example of what I'd like do achieve:
Code.gs:
function onEdit(){
myFunctionFromLibrary_gs();
}
Library.gs:
function myFunctionFromLibrary_gs(){
Browser.msgBox("hi there");
}
The onEdit() is obviously called by a Trigger.
Without modification this will result in a Runtime-Error, stating that
myFunctionFromLibrary_gs TypeError: is not a function, it is undefined.
So how can I make this work, or is this currently not supported?
Thx in advance for your help.
Yes, it's possible.
You are not limited to a single server Code.gs file. You can spread server code across multiple files for ease of development. All of the server files are loaded into the same global namespace, so use JavaScript classes when you want to provide safe encapsulation.
Reference: Google Documentation - features and limitations
I don't know what the _gs suffix means for Google, but without it (see code bellow), the code works.
file1.gs:
function onEdit(){
myFunctionFromLibrary();
}
file2.gs
function myFunctionFromLibrary(){
Browser.msgBox("hi there");
}
I know this is an old question but I found it looking for a similar task and happened to find the answer during my same search.
From the docs at https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guide_libraries#writingLibrary:
If you want one or more methods of your script to not be visible (nor usable) to your library users, you can end the name of the method with an underscore. For example, myPrivateMethod_().
While your function does not END in an underscore, it may have special meaning in other places than just this, or the _gs suffix may also have special meaning (particularly given the same filename suffix).
