Ms Access Vba Error Handling
Microsoft Access If you Google "error logging in Microsoft Access," you'll find a number of complex solutions. But the process doesn't have to be that difficult. Most of us need only a simple function to log specific information about the current error. By Susan Harkins | in Microsoft Office, October 31, 2008, 6:07 AM PST RSS Comments Facebook Linkedin Twitter More Email Print Reddit Delicious Digg Pinterest Stumbleupon Google Plus Despite all your best efforts, errors occur in every database. Most developers include adequate error-handling routines in their code, but that might not be enough. Knowing when an error occurs and how often it occurs can be important to resolving the issue and avoiding future errors. Access doesn't track errors, but you can add that functionality to any database. All you need is a table and a little code. Note: Our companion download includes a demonstration database and a several .bas module files you can import into any Access database. Don't cut and paste the code directly from here into an Access module, as the article text contains formatting that will generate errors. The easiest way If you have just one database to maintain and you're its only user, error logging isn't a critical issue because you're around when the error occurs. However, it's difficult to display internal error information at the time of the error. It isn't impossible, but even if your application displays it, you have to remember all of it. For that reason alo

How to make MS-Access Log file? 100+ P: 177 eneyardi Hi Guys I need to set up or create a routine will keep a log file of what was done by whom Is there any easy way or is it implemented already in Ms access 2007, i need a log file which keeps track of any interaction(abcd) with the database Any idea, somebody already did it, any example, please let me know Jan 10 '11 #1 Post Reply ✓ answered by Oralloy eneyardi, The problem with audit trails in Access is that there is no database level http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/microsoft-office/how-to-log-errors-in-microsoft-access/ mechanism that implements auditing. What that means is that you have to implement auditing as a part of your application. If the user can access a table directly, without going through a form (or other programatic) interface, then the audit trail can not track every desired change. The code example I provided is just a simple module to write audit trail records to a table in the database; nothing more. It's the core of an application level audit trail implementation. https://bytes.com/topic/access/answers/905901-how-make-ms-access-log-file What you choose to write is, of course, up to you. If all you want to do is record "new" records, then that's all you have to audit. If you want more sophisticated auditing and information, you'll have to implement it. Am I making sense? Share this Question 9 Replies P: 79 malcolmk Depending on exactly what you want to track then the tracking table could become huge. the way I would go about it is to have every user login with a unique id, have a table called tracking with fields somewhat like Userid( obviously the user logged in ) When(date and time)Formname(name of form accessed by user) Operation( values of viewed, edit,add,delete,recordnum,field) Each time a form is opened, record edited, deleted, added the event fired writes info to the tracking table Don't know if this would reduce application sped too much, never tried it out. My thoughts anyhow on possible way to implement. ; ) Jan 10 '11 #2 reply 100+ P: 177 eneyardi Thanks, just what i thought too, our 4380 records will be multiplied for only to view every records routing history. i can depend it now on program presentation that is not adviceable to have that function. Jan 10 '11 #3 reply Expert 100+ P: 978 Oralloy eneyrardi, I've built audit-trails into access before. They aren't difficult. You can hide the whole thing in a module with one or two interface functions, an

It really has been a most enjoyable time.An Access Error Log Maintenance and debugging VBA code in an Access database is very much easier if you have a reliable record of exactly what went wrong. Once your database has been released into everyday use you will find yourself relying on the user's memory for reports of errors and details of error messages. Write yourself an error log so that you have an accurate and independent record of what really happened. Error Log A typical entry in our log file looks like this: [23/09/2005],[15:55:49],[Backup failed],[53],[File not found] We chose to use a simple text file so that we could read it from a user's PC without needing anything more sophisticated than NotePad. The regular format of fields delimited by [ & ] and separated by commas allow us to read and analyse the data automatically when we want to see whether there is any pattern in a large volume of data. The log holds five fields: Date Time Some descriptive text The Access error number The Access error message The third parameter is particularly useful because it lets us give the user something friendlier than the typical Access error message. The error handler logs all five parameters but the friendly message is all that the user sees. Generating a log Every routine in the application has an On Error call to the ErrorHandler sub. Public Sub ErrorHandler(strReason As String) Dim lngNumber As Long ' Error number Dim strDescription As String 'Error description '-- Save these values before the On Error clears '-- them lngNumber = Err.Number strDescription = Err.Description On Error GoTo Err_ErrorHandler '-- gstrHome is the name of a common network drive '-- available to all users Open gstrHome & "\Error.Log"_ For Append Lock Write As #1 '-- Write some basic info then close the file Print #1, "[" & Date & "],[" & Time & "],[" & _ strReason & "],[" & lngNumber & "],[" & _ strDescription & "]" Close #1 MsgBox strReason, vbCritical Application.Quit acExit End Sub Using the log A typical call would be: ErrorHa
