If VBYes then remove some info
Posted on 2006-06-22
This is part of a Before Update event:
If Me.CertificationType.Value
Me.Visible = False
If MsgBox("You have selected Permanent Decertification." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf _
& "By making this selection you will be removing dates pertinent to this " _
& "individuals CPRP Certification process." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf _
& "THIS REMOVAL ON INFORMATION CAN NOT BE UNDONE. Do you wish to continue " _
& "with this selection?", vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
Set PDQrs = db.OpenRecordset("tblDates
With PDQrs
.AddNew
!EmpNo = Me.EmpNo
!CertificationType = Me.CertificationType.Value
!InitialInterview = Me.InitialInterview
!Date3180ToCOReview = Me.Date3180ToCOReview
!Date3180ToHR = Me.Date3180ToHR
!Date3180FromHR = Me.Date3180FromHR
!Date3180ToClinic = Me.Date3180ToClinic
!Date3180FromClinic = Me.Date3180FromClinic
!Date3180ToCOFinal = Me.Date3180ToCOFinal
!CertificationDate = Me.CertificationDate
.Update
End With
Set PDQrs = Nothing
Me.CertificationType = ""
Me.InitialInterview = ""
Me.Date3180ToCOReview = ""
Me.Date3180ToHR = ""
Me.Date3180FromHR = ""
Me.Date3180ToClinic = ""
Me.Date3180FromClinic = ""
Me.Date3180ToCOFinal = ""
Me.CertificationDate = ""
Me.Visible = True
Everything works great...until I want to reset the values of other controls on my form.
What do I need to do to make this work?
Thanks!

Hi LenaWood,
You can reset the string controls by assigning "" to them,
but for numbers, you have to assign a 0 (zero)

use the Tag property of the controls.
dim ctl as control
for each ctl i me.controls
if ctl.tag="somevalue" then
ctl.name=""
end if
next

Hey Lena
You'd not change the values of controls in the active form in a BeforeUpdate event.
Normally you'd test then - make a decision to proceed or not, and then make changes afterwards.

OK....my recordset works and all the information is put into the table. What I can't do is remove the dates from my controls on my form.
I have tried Me.CertificationType = Null and Me.CertificationType = "" with no luck. I have even made sure that zero lengths are allowed. (They weren't but changing it didn't help). CertificationType is a text field.
The error message I get is:
The macro or function set to the Before Update or Validation Rule property for this field is preventing Microsoft Access from saving the data in the field.
I am looking at this knowing I should know how to do this, but it all is looking kinda foriegn to me. Thank goodness the weekend is almost here.

LPurvis - I thought I was testing by asking the question if they want to proceed. If they say yes I want to proceed. It is the proceeding part that I am having trouble with. I am starting to really HATE this database haha.

The code I pasted is on a controls before update event. I think I am trying to automate far too much!

No - that should be OK.
But in what way is it going wrong?
Where are you getting an error - and which error is it?
Are the specified fields allowed to be a zero length string?
(I'd always set mine to Null. Always always always).
Did I mention always?

It won't change the values to "" or Null
Yes, they are allowed to be zero length. All of them are dates except one, and I didn't see an allow Zero length on the date fields in the table.
I have it working, just not sure it is how I should have done it. I created a publically declared blnChangeDates as a boolean. When the form is opened I set it to false. When I run the code pasted above instead of changing the dates then, I changed blnChangeDates to true. On the button that closes that form, I have it check for the value of blnChangeDates and if it is true, I have it set the values of those controls to "" (but will ALWAYS change it to null).
Just not sure what I am doing wrong in the first place.

I'd do exactly as you describe - but set your boolean flag to true in the BeforeUpdate - and perform your changes in the Afterupdate event based on the state of that flag.
(Remember to reset the flag in the afterupdate event too ;-)
