In the calling sub, printIt(), the line " doReport(me.name, "PDF", "Bay", True)" returns an error, "Expected =". I have tried renaming both subs, but continue to get the same error. The sub printIT() will reside in various forms that control reports. The sub doReports() is in a module and...

I have the following code snippet that refuses to do as it is bid. The idea is to catch an inadvertent "setfocus" to a control that already has focus. From the screenshots it is obvious that the control name and the string "str" are the same yet the "Then" clause is still activated. Private...

After having problems with followhyperlink I searched the net and found this site https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66698889/open-links-using-vba-without-followhyperlink. I installed the software and tried again with the same result, which is; In development mode, access 2016 64bit and w10...

That title should read DATA, not DATE. I am getting this message after update on a combobox. There are no macros or functions in either the "afterupdate" or "gotfocus" events of the two controls involved. I have run the debugger a number of times and even changed the destination control from a...

When making a copy of a form in access 2016, the back colour of all buttons is changed to a light grey while the back colour of labels and text remains unchanged. The property sheet of the buttons shows the original back colour highlighted. This happens when copying within a database or from on...

How do I stop findrecord from returning a partial input? My search string is "505.1" findrecord returns a record containing "505.1DM". I cannot find a way to ensure it only returns a record with the exact search string. Is there a way around this or do I need to use a method other than findrecord?

My database is split with front end, back end. How do I add a new table other than delete the links in the front end, copy the tables from the back end and then split again. Is there a way to add the new table without all that rigamarole. I am currently using the code below to re-link after a...

I think I know the answer to this one but I'll ask it anyway. Is there a way to use a combobox.rowsource as the input to a query, rather than build a new query every time. To explain: My form is used with 6 different tables. That means 6 queries for a combobox and another 6 queries to reduce the...

I have an append query that Access seems to think is not good enough. The one field, that is the main criteria, "Taxon.Family" does not get appended. Access keeps adding this field to the append list, causing an error with two fields being appended to one. How do I stop Access from causing this...

I have a series of almost identical queries that I would like to put into a qdf with parameters. I have used these in the past but my knowledge of SQL is not up to the complexity of this . A variant of the query shown is used as input for a bevy of count queries. There is also a set of append...

I have an array with 3 elements. Using the code below, if I call getargs(Args, 4), the code runs through the "if /else/end if" section error free but returns "subscript out of range" when it encounters the "IIf() statement. Is this a peculiarity of arrays, that they don't like the iif()...

I have two tables that are used in multiple sub's, for different purposes, in the same module. I have tried using different "Dim rsx as", "rsx.close and "rsx = nothing" with "x" being different in each sub. Trouble is the ".move" in one instance is changing the position in all instances of the...
