Hello all...I'm a bit new to working with Macros in Access so forgive
me if the terminology I use is not accurate.
To preface this, basically I am using a form on a replicated database
so the end-user can filter on a specific report they want to see. This
database was designed by my predecessor (of which he left no
documentation) and I need to add some additional functions to this
end-user filter report.
Within one Macro, he has over 30 conditional actions. I have since
added an additional attribute to the database (public
comment/non-public comment). I want to make this an option when
filtering reports. I've added about 5 new conditional actions that
incorporate this and they worked (including the original 30 conditional
actions within the same macro). After I add the sixth conditional
action, the new action works, but then most actions underneath it do
not work (there are no error messages...it just doesn't recognize the
filter constraints).
My question --- could it be the order in which I add these actions? Or
could it be a limitation of Access?
Thank you --- any help would be greatly appreciated. This has been
driving me nuts all weekend. If you think you might be able to help
and need additional info or examples, please let me know and I'll get
them ready. Thank you!!!! 1 2300
Sorry, but this is probably at best an indirect answer to your
question. I almost never use macros, so don't know a whole lot about
them. That said, almost anything you do in a macro, you can do with
VBA, and usually do it better.
If you wanted to, you could convert the macro you have to VBA
(Right-click on the macro, choose Save As, and then choose Module.
Then you can simplify the insane number of this kind of thing:
If Forms![MyForm]![MyField]=1 Then
'Do one thing
End If
If Forms![MyForm]![MyField]=1 Then
'Do another thing
End If
to something like
Select Case Forms![MyForm]![MyField]
Case 1
'do one thing
Case 2
' do another thing
....
Case Else
' do the default thing
End Select
Also, you can build your filters incrementally, by testing a control to
see if it has a value, and if it does, add it to the filter...
If not IsNull(Forms![MyForm]![MyControl]) then
strFilter = strFilter & "[TableName].[FieldName]=
Forms![MyForm]![MyControl]
End if
it just makes building the filters a lot easier. And then at the end
you can just pass the filter you've created with your function to the
open event of your report in the DoCmd.OpenRepor t method...
Hope I haven't totally lost you. You might want to look up the
OpenReport method in the helpfile... This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

The ASP page has multiple buttons, and when the user clicks different
buttons, it will submit the form data to different URLs.
My first approach was to use BUTTON type, and triggers javascript function
to submit the form data. However, it didn't work properly and I changed to
use SUBMIT type.
<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" NAME="action1" VALUE="Return to Main Search Page"
onClick="action1()">

Perhaps this is a design flaw, please let me know.
I'm using Access 2000. I have a form with a tab control and 5

Hi,
I know virtually nothing about creating Macros in Access.
I would appreciate some help in creating a Macro or Macros that
automatically run(s) 14 Queries (three Make Table Queries, and 11
Append Queries) when the Database is first opened, and then again
anytime I invoke the Macro (somehow) after the database is already
open. The latter function is useful, because the queries must be rerun
every time data is added, deleted, or...

I have a macro with several actions in it. They each have a condition. The macro seems to be working for the first line of action, but not for any of the subsequent actions. Any ideas why this may be and/or how to work around it?
Thanks.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
