How can I force refresh form and 2 subforms in a MS Access 2003 with VB, I created a refresh btn with a wizard and it does not work. Access says "an action or cmd refresh is not available now" I place the btn on a form
Here is the btn code that was generated by access;
Then set the Timer Interval to 10000
(right below On Timer in the Event tab.
Private Sub Command15_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command15_Click
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, 5, , acMenuVer70

Exit_Command15_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_Command15_Click:
MsgBox err.Description
Resume Exit_Command15_Click

End Sub

I also tried to use on timer event in form properties
I tried the Me.requery and Froms!fmetersstatus.requery
I set interval to 1000

In both cases Access would give me errors: "macro me could not be found" and that macro "Froms!ffmetersstatus could not be found". Do I need to creat macros

Please help
Thank you

pwtucker:

I have not tried this on a timer event, but it should work.

me.requery (main form)
me.subformname1.requery (you may have to do me.subformname1.form.requery)

Hope this works.

boag2000:

arepin,

Let's go back to the original issue:
"an action or cmd refresh is not available now"

1. This basically means that you cannot refresh.

Depending on when the user clicks the button, the form might not be in the correct "State" to refresh.
For example,
You: "It's time to feed the cat."
Your Spouse: "We don't have a cat"
In this case the "Feed the cat" comand is not available.

So you may have to trigger the refresh on the Afterupdate event of one of the forms.
For example: if you change a value in Form1 and you need to see that value updated in Form2, you would put the refresh on the after update event of Form1. then you would specifically refresh Form2.
(This will also save the user the trouble of having to remember to click the button, or to save them from clicking the button when it is not needed.)

2. Another issue here is that the code you are using refreshes the "Current" form only,
(possibly the form that contains the button), not any subforms

3. You mentioned "Requery" towards the end of your post.
Requery and Refresh are two separate commands. you have to decide which one you really need.

4. As far as I can tell you only need to refresh one form (the form that needs to see the new data) not all of the forms.

5. It is difficult to provide a solution without knowing exactly what you are trying to accomplish and your Form/Table structures.

Can you please post these?

What was the problem?

I ended up creating a new macro with one command "requery"(I did not specify any options, just a word requery and it works great.) . I call it every time I need to refresh a data in the form, (I call this macro from many forms now). I set it on the timer event in the form properties.
Thanks again
