The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

how to wait for form to do calculations before proceeding with vba code

Asked by wendy326 in Microsoft Access Database

Tags: vba, wait, form

I am doing automation from Access to Word. I have a chart that I want to copy, and everything works great except the code is too fast and often copies the chart before it's been calculated (which means I actually get the last version of the chart instead).

Here's how I've got it set up:
Inside a big automation module, I've got a sub that processes all the things that get copied into Word. This sub makes a call to open up the chart form, which automatically opens the form, retrieves the data, and formats the chart. Immediately after, the sub copies the chart to the end of the word document:

stDocName = "ifrmDBarChart"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName
>>>>>here's where I need the sub to pause while the form finishes opening!!!!!<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Forms!ifrmDBarChart.SetFocus
Forms!ifrmDBarChart!BarChart.ChartArea.Copy
intRangeEnd = mobjDoc.Range.End
Set mobjRange = mobjDoc.Range(intRangeEnd - 1, intRangeEnd)
mobjRange.PasteSpecial , , , , wdPastePicture

How can I make it wait in the middle for the form to finish its calculations? I tried using "Sleep" but that just made the whole computer sleep, so it didn't help.

Any hints out there?

Thanks,
Wendy
