[jeannier1975]

Im looking over an database that i have inheriated to reconstruct. i notice on form there is an event DataChange(ByVal Reason As Long) what does this do what is the purpose?

Hi. I'm not familiar with that event definition. Are you sure it's an actual event? I am thinking maybe it's a custom subroutine created by the former developer.

What object is that from? Is it a chart, for example?

 

[jeannier1975]

no chart just a form trying to make scense of what it doing
Private Sub Form_DataChange(ByVal Reason As Long)
Me.Refresh
Me.Requery
End Sub

Okay. I'm not in front of a computer right now, but I'll check once I am and I'll let you know. Which version of Access are you using?

I think it is a form event, but involves a pivot table:

Form.DataChange event (Access)

Office VBA reference topic

docs.microsoft.com

The event does nothing per se. It is the code that comes in between the start and end that matters. What you have shown is that the form gets refreshed, then requeried - which doesn't make sense to me. No point in doing the first if you're going to do the second as well.

Ah, no wonder I wasn't familiar with it, since I haven't tried using Pivot Tables in Access.

Me neither. I just did what anyone else could do (yet it seems most don't) before posting - ask Mother Google.
