The Basic Function of this is that when you Log in to the system and when on load of the Main Menu it should show a message if certain Products have reached the critical level and when you press yes it should redirect to the form where it shows a detailed view.
In this Case the Quantity in hand is "QTY" and Critical Level is "ROQ" (Field names in the tblProduct)
Dim Alert As Integer
Dim rsAlert As New Adodb.Recordset
rsAlert.Open "select * from tblproduct , CurrentProject.Connection"
Alert = DCount("[qty]", "[tblProduct]", " [ROQ] <= Qty and =0")
If Alert = 0 Then
Exit Sub
Else
If MsgBox("This/These " & Alert & " product/products have reached their critical levels" & _
vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Would you like to see these now?", _
vbYesNo, "Alert...") = vbYes Then
DoCmd.Minimize
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmAlerts", acNormal
Else
Exit Sub
End If
End If
End Sub
The error I get is that when load my menu menu it doesn't show the number of products which are under the critical level ! If anyone can help it would be a Great Help!
This has been done in Microsoft Access.
Further to my comment this is a not going to work. Create a list box and populate it with the stock shortages, something like this;
Dim rsAlert As Recordset
Dim sSql As String
sSql = "SELECT ProductID, Description, OtherFields, GoHere FROM tblproduct WHERE ROQ >= QTY AND ROQ > 0"
Set rsAlert = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(sSql, dbOpenSnapshot)
If Not rsAlert.EOF Then 'There are records (shortages) so unhide and poulate the list box (called lstShortageListBox)
Me.lstShortageListBox.Visible = True
Me.lstShortageListBox.RowSource = sSql
Else
Me.lstShortageListBox.Visible = False
End If
' Tidy Up
rsAlert.Close
Set rsAlert = Nothing
Obviously make sure that the recordsets criteria are correct - I've made some guesses about that bit.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to have my checkbox "checked" when my user clicks Yes when validating approvals. The checkbox column lives in the retailEntry table but I added it to my approval query so they should be linked.
The problem is that all "pack_numbers" are checked even the ones not present on the approval query. I want only the packs that appear on the approvalqry to be checked. It appears I cannot "Check" the "Creative Approval" from the approvalqry and if I use the retailentry recordset it just checks everything.
Any advice or push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
Code:
Set rap = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Approvalqry")
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("RetailEntry")
On Error Resume Next
If Not (rap.EOF And rap.BOF) Then
rap.MoveFirst
Do Until rs.EOF = True

Confirm Approvals have been received?", vbInformation + vbYesNo, "Approval Required!")
If nConfirmation = vbYes Then
'Update approved checkbox
If rap.Fields("Pack_Number").Value Then
rap.Edit
rap![Creative Approval] = True
rap.Update
Else

I'm currently building a form where a user can look up a tool based on the description or part number.
I want user to be able to type any letters into the combobox that I have tied to a query listing all my tools and the combobox will repopulate itself with the tools most similar to what is present in their combobox. For example, if they start typing wre, then tools that have similar characters will start appearing in the combobox such as wrench, torque wrench, power wrench, etc.
I've tried looking around for other people's solutions to this but either I didn't fully comprehend the existing solution (I'm fairly new to Access) or it wasn't what I was looking for. I've seen that people suggested using a listbox instead but I really don't want to go down that route.
I was thinking about using what the user types in the combobox and my VBA code will pick up the "change event" and requery the combobox on the fly by using their input as the like criteria for the new query.
Is this a possible route? Will it be slower? Is there a better route?
I'm hoping someone can show some examples on how to achieve what I'm looking for.
The search as you type feature is very useful! With a textbox and a listbox, you can setup a dynamic search tool that will filter a list for approximate matches as you type. The textbox has four events associated with it, as seen here.
The code behind the form looks like this. Pay attention to the part in bold. This is where we create a string of SQL commands, and utilize the SQL Like operator, to get dynamic matches as we type. Pay attention to the text in bold below.

I have a list box - The user clicks one of the results in the list box that's populated from a table.
When they click one of the items in a list box the text boxes populate the results that are in the table
On the textbox I have on change code of:
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE tbl_ComplaintsCoded SET [TicketNumber] = '" & Text3 & "' WHERE ID = " & List1.Column(0)
Text3 shows the Ticket number
Text5 shows the department
Its the department that the user is trying to change before getting an error of:
data type mismatch in criteria expression

Just for fun, I rewrote what you put together in something a little more elegant with some basic error handling and a little more streamlined.

I have the below code where I'm trying to check comboboxes to make sure they are not null
I have a core combobox - cmbHierarchy - with Store, Retailer, Territory, District and secondary comboboxes to select stores, retailers, territories, districts (one for each)
I want the VBA to check cmbHierarchy to make sure it's populated, then depending on what it is populated with, make sure it's corresponding combobox has a value selected.
The current code is checking to make sure all 5 are populated. Where what I need is if cmbHierarchy = store then check cmbStore, if cmbHierarchy = retailer then check retailer, and so on.
Private Sub btnQryTermCount_Click()
Dim strQueryName As String
If Me.cmbHierarchy.Value = Store Or IsNull(Me.cmbStore.Value) Then
MsgBox "Please choose a Store"
Me.cmbStore.SetFocus
ElseIf Me.cmbHierarchy.Value = Retailer Or IsNull(Me.cmbRetailer.Value) Then
MsgBox "Please choose a Retailer"
Me.cmbRetailer.SetFocus
Else: strQueryName = "TERM_Count_" & Me.cmbHierarchy
MsgBox "Query Ready: " & strQueryName
DoCmd.OpenQuery strQueryName
End If
End Sub
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Since your controls are named conveniently, you can do something like this:
If Nz(Me.cmbHierarchy.Value, "") <> "" Then
If Nz(Me.Controls("cmb" & Me.cmbHierarchy.Value).Value) = "" Then
MsgBox "Please choose a " & Me.cmbHierarchy.Value & "."
Else
strQueryName = "TERM_Count_" & Me.cmbHierarchy.Value
MsgBox "Query Ready: " & strQueryName
DoCmd.OpenQuery strQueryName
End If
Else
'cmbHierarchy validation failed logic here.
End if
IsNull instead of Nz maybe fine, but I am always in the habit of casting the value to be safe.
I am using VBA and SQL to re-query my main form based on criteria entered in several controls on a pop up form. As far as I can tell the code is running correctly, the database is re-queried based on the criteria I enter, but 2 of my controls on my main form show as #Name? or blank after re-querying based on the criteria. Anyone know how I can fix this???
The code that runs the re-query is:

The first control in question is a combo box that displays the Client Name from the CallInfo form (Main Form).
Control Source: ClientID
And when expanded lists all available clients to select from the Users form (User ID is linked between the User form and CallInfo form).
Row Source: SELECT User.ClientID FROM [User];
After the re-query, this combobox will be blank, sometimes showing #Name? if you click on it.
The second control in question is a text box that shows the Client's phone number.
Control Source: PhoneNo
After the Re-query, this text box always displays #Name?
The third control in question is a text box that displays the clients office location.
Control Source: Location
What really baffles me is that THIS text box displays correctly after the re-query. I don't know why it would display the correct data when the Phone Number text box does not, seeing as they are so similar and work with similar data....
To Compare, the The form record source is normally based on:
SELECT CallInfo.CallNumber, CallInfo.ClientID, CallInfo.RcvdTech, CallInfo.RcvdDate, CallInfo.CloseDate, CallInfo.Classroom, CallInfo.Problem, CallInfo.CurrentStatus, CallInfo.Resolution, CallInfo.Severity, CallInfo.OpenStatus, CallInfo.AsgnTech, dbo_HDTechs.Email, CallInfo.FullName, CallInfo.AsgnGroup, User.Location, User.PhoneNo, CallInfo.OpenStatus
FROM dbo_HDTechs INNER JOIN ([User] INNER JOIN CallInfo ON User.ClientID = CallInfo.ClientID) ON dbo_HDTechs.TechName = CallInfo.AsgnTech
WHERE (((CallInfo.OpenStatus)=True))
ORDER BY CallInfo.RcvdDate;
Just going on what you wrote, I may take a slightly different approach (just personal preference).
I would change all of your 'IsNull' tests to also check for 'Empty'. i.e.
If IsNull(Forms![frmTips&Tricks].cboClientID) = False AND ...cliientID <> ""
Just today I had an issue relating to form references in a query WHERE clause, so I changed to:
strClientID = " (((CallInfo.ClientID) = '" & forms![frmTips&Tricks].[cboClientID] & "')) and"
Add a Debug.Print of your generated SQL, then look at it and try to run that SQL manually
Good Luck,
Wayne
Solved by designating the form in the control source like: CallInfo.ClientID
I still don't know why the Client Office displayed Correctly... Anybody have a hint? :)
