    How to trap an error number?

    Ok, I got it to spit out a number, butI am sure it is not the correct one for the displayed message. I have a box to enter the date in as mm/yyyy. If the numbers do not fit a date validation rule supplied by the system, it spits out a message saying: "The Value you entered is valid for...

    How to trap an error number?

    I actually want to use the error to display a custom message. But I only want to display it for certain errors, therefore, I would say If Error = ##### Then Message Else Skip errors End If I just don't know how to get that number.

    Thanks for the help.

    Question about some ComboBox code

    Yes! This works perfect! Thanks a lot for the help. The only thing that was amiss was that you left a few THENs off and the COLUMN property starts at 0 so it was 1 instead of 2.... Again, thanks for the help. One more minor question; how do I get it to tab out of the control now? The code...

    Question about some ComboBox code

    Ok, I am a little confused about the terminology I think. In the first portion you mention: "Let's say you have the listbox with the following properties set:" Then you just said: "...listbox portion of a combo-box..." I guess I do not know what the listbox portion of...

    Question about some ComboBox code

    Is this code for a listbox or a combobox? In the listbox there is no setting for autoexpand. Also, I was looking at the help on ListCount, and it says it works with a CommandBarComboBox. I looked that up and couldn't quite understand exactly what that was and if that is what I have. It is just a...

    Question about some ComboBox code

    I have a combo box where the user chooses the state. I would like to have it act like the combo box everyone is familiar with where if you hit the same letter, it cycles through the choices in that letter. For example, if I hit "O" twice I want it to cycle to Oklahoma instead of typing...

    Anyway to eliminate error system messages?

    That worked great. Thanks. One question; you left of the "FileName" and it still worked, I was curious why that is not necessary? I could have sworn I tried it without the FileName once and it didn't worked.

    Anyway to eliminate error system messages?

    Actually, that line of code is all I have and it makes the Windows Save dialog come up. It allows them to browse to a location and chose their own file name. I just have "FileName" as a string but never actually assign anything to it. I discovered that this caused the dialog to pop up...

    Anyway to eliminate error system messages?

    Where would I put this line? I tried putting it right before the ouptut code, but I still get the message. The exact message is: "The OutputTo Action Was Canceled" OK

    Anyway to eliminate error system messages?

    I have a button that outputs a query to a saved file by asking the user where they would like to save it. The code is: DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, "Search", acFormatXLS, FileName If the user clicks cancel to saving it, a message comes back saying "Output was canceled." Is...

    Selecting from a combo box

    Combo Box Question (How to cycle through choices?)

    I have a combo box where the user chooses the state. I would like to have it act like the combo box everyone is familiar with where if you hit the same letter, it cycles through the choices in that letter. For example, if I hit "O" twice I want it to cycle to Oklahoma instead of typing...

    Query That Sometimes Works?

    I figured it out. It was the mask. It was storing the date as a number, i.e. 01/1999 -> 019999. So different months and years really screwed up the chronological order. I looked at the Short Date mask and it had an extra zero on it (00/00/0000;0;) so I made my mask just like it with out the...

    Query That Sometimes Works?

    I have a query that I am trying to get to work. I had it working perfectly until I added a piece and I would like to figure out why it is not working. Below is a snippet of the query that uses a form as its source. (((Alumni.CurrentCity)=[Forms]![AlumniSearch]![CurCity])) OR...

    How do I show query results in a form?

    I have gotten a little further now. I have gotten the query to pop up the correct form, but cannot get it to populate the form with the records. I am using this command now: DoCmd.OpenForm "SearchResults", , "AlumniSearch" It opens the form "SearchResults", but it...
