Grabbing the maximum value of a field's contents (but not in an Sql statement)

Chumley the Walrus

I need to evaluate a field's maximum value and then do an if
conditional:
if rs("havesubP") = true and rs("displaygrou p") < MAX then ....

whereas MAX represents the biggest value in the records for the
displaygroup field (an integer datatype). I get an "Either BOF or EOF
is True, or the current record has been deleted.." error if i put any
type of comparison number (of course MAX is not a vbscript keyword)
that is larger than my largest displaygroup value in the dbase , as I
will loop thru all the records once this condition is met.

thanks

Toss the recordset into an array. You can loop through it as many times as
you like then.

You need to check for eof in your loop. show the loop code.

pobjRS.Sort = "[FIELD] DESC"
pdblMaxValue = pobjRS.Fields(" FIELD").Value
pobjRS.Sort = vbNullString

Maximum length of an If Then line in VBA

by: dixie | last post by:

Is there a maximum length in VBA of a line containing stuff like the following: If password = "1234" or password = "1235" or password = ............... Then It seems to me that at some stage, I add an extra password onto the end of the line and it does not work. I assumed it might be 255 characters, but the line that works is much longer than that. dixie

Incrementing a maximum value of a field when adding a record

by: K. Davis | last post by:

I need to increment the maximum value of a field of a table by 1 when a form opens a blank record. (e.g. =max(!![trip_number}) so the logic and references are working at the form level. I've tried a number of variants tied to the before update event, but always get the message "The field 'tripmain.trip_number' can't contain a Null value because the Required property for this field is set to True. Enter a value in this field."

Grabbing checkbox values

by: Amer Neely | last post by:

I've got a dynamically built form with checkboxes for each element ( a list of file names in a directory). I need to grab only those checkboxes that are checked, so I can then delete those files. Does each checkbox name have to be unique? I was hoping to just group them under one name, and select from that array. PHP is not my native language - I'm coming at this from Perl, so bear with me, things are a little different in that country.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
