    Mysterious flickering

    I'm having an issue with the form flickering when I update/enter information in a control. I've run through the form many times and there doesn't seem to be much consistency to what updated controls will make the screen flicker. I've tried a bunch of stuff and none of it seems to work, does...

    what event to tie this code to so it works?

    I have this piece of code that works, but for the life of me I can't figure out what event/module to put it under. In my form, a user generates a number by filling out an unbound form and clicking a command button. The command button then sets the value of InsightId through a calculation. This...

    do loop order help

    I'm new to do loops in access, and I have some code that almost does what I'd like it to do, but it needs some tweaking. I'm not sure if what I'm envisioning is possible though (or if maybe a do loop isn't the right way to do it?). In the event form before update, I want it to look through...

    DCount Duplicates reading record as its own duplicate

    I've been having some trouble with this piece of code with the straightforward task of preventing a user from entering a duplicate ID into the field SurveyID. However, as I've been testing the various ways a user can "break" my database design, I've noticed an issue. If the user is in an old...

    Require one of two fields to be filled in unless user decides to cancel the record

    Hi all, I'm having a problem that I would think would be quite common but I've had trouble finding the answer I need. I need to accomplish two things: 1) make it so the user can't save a record without entering information in one of two fields 2) allow the user to delete the record if they...

    Creating ID number from several variables

    Hi all, Basically I have code that sort of does what I want, but what I want is a little more complicated. The code I found allows you to click a button to generate the next ID number, which is very similar to what I want. However, what I want is to click the button, and it looks at 2 fields...

    Checking for duplicates 3037 error

    Hi all, I've written a piece of code that checks a special ID number for duplicates, and makes the user change the ID if it's a duplicate. So far it works, except in this one instance: If a user enters a duplicate ID, deletes the ID, and then clicks elsewhere in the form, it returns this error...
