#error In Access Reports
Contents |
controls don't exist, you cannot sum them. In forms The problem does not arise in forms that display the new record. It does occur if error reports taking up disk space the form's Allow Additions property is Yes, or if the form is error reports windows 7 bound to a non-updatable query. To avoid the problem, test the RecordCount of the form's Recordset. In older ms access #error versions of Access, that meant changing: =Sum([Amount]) to: =IIf([Form].[Recordset].[RecordCount] > 0, Sum([Amount]), 0) Access 2007 and later have a bug, so that expression fails. You need a function. Copy #error access query this function into a standard module, and save the module with a name such as Module1: Public Function FormHasData(frm As Form) As Boolean 'Purpose: Return True if the form has any records (other than new one). ' Return False for unbound forms, and forms with no records. 'Note: Avoids the bug in Access 2007 where text boxes cannot use: ' [Forms].[Form1].[Recordset].[RecordCount] On
#error In Access Form
Error Resume Next 'To handle unbound forms. FormHasData = (frm.Recordset.RecordCount <> 0&) End Function Now use this expression in the Control Source of the text box: =IIf(FormHasData([Form]), Sum([Amount]), 0) Notes Leave the [Form] part of the expression as it is (i.e. do not substitute the name of your form.) For Access 97 or earlier, use RecordsetClone instead of Recordset in the function. A form with no records still has display problems. The workaround may not display the zero, but it should suppress the #Error. In reports Use the HasData property property, specifically for this purpose. So, instead of: =Sum([Amount]) use: =IIf([Report].[HasData], Sum([Amount]), 0) If you have many calculated controls, you need to do this on each one. When Access discovers one calculated control that it cannot resolve, it gives up on calculating the others. Therefore one bad expression can cause other calculated controls to display #Error, even if those controls are bound to valid expressions.

Error, text box can not find reference #name error in access I created a text box with a function for the control source =[Location]*2 where [Location] is a field on the same form (right beside this text box). I get this error in the text box #Name? http://allenbrowne.com/RecordCountError.html I know this field exists, it's right beside the text box. Funny thing is it worked yesterday. Any ideas? Did I hit a switch or an option that disable functions??? Last edited by GT_engineer; 11-27-2012 at 05:48 AM.

Microsoft Access Report Tips and Avoiding Common Mistakes by Luke Chung, President of FMS Introduction Access reports are extremely powerful and considered by many to be the best report generator for Windows. However, the developer can easily make mistakes that cause a report to behave incorrectly or poorly. Here’s a checklist for common problems with report designs. Developers should verify these problems do not exist prior to finalizing their reports. Common Mistakes Check these items on your reports before you distribute them: Use Captions Without setting the report caption property, the name of the report appears which may not be what you want the user to see. Spell Check Labels and Captions Make sure that what users see on the labels and captions is accurate and spelled correctly. Verify Help Context IDs

Hiding error messages VBA advantages -for greater functionality This tip looks at hiding error messages in a report, specifically the #error. Note: This tip is only required for Microsoft Access 2003 or earlier, as Microsoft Access 2007, 2010, automatically displays a blank field if there is no data, so no need for the following work around. Which is great. The #Error message in a report occurs when there are no underlying records in the table or query the report is based on (i.e. an empty recordset). The most likely field this will happen to is an unbound field that performs a calculation on another field, i.e. Sum, Average or Count. If there are no records to perform the calculation on then the #Error message is displayed. If you have many calculated unbound controls (fields), you will need to do this on each field. The reason for this is if the report comes accross one error, it stops calculating all the other fields and displays #error in all of them. So repeat the below for all calculated fields that may have a record count of 0. First you have to decided what you wish to display when hiding error messages (#error) You may with to display a 0, or leave the field blank if there is no data, as it makes the report a bit tidier, easier to read and more professional.One way of hiding the error message is to check whether the report has any data in it or not by evaluating the HasData property and then combining it with the IIF function. The HasData property returns one of three values:-1 = Bound report with records0 = Bound report with no records1 = Unbound reportThe example below shows how to use this in an
