I have created all the tables, and have http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=638762 set up an automatic way to grab and import the data. However, the method of importing is sort of brute force and not very elegant, because I've only had like 2 weeks to work on it. I have linked tables set up in the database to CSV files I have append queries that will add new records to existing tables. Warnings are thrown for duplicate entries, but those can be ignored. What my company wants to do is every day run a program I http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8823259/method-for-logging-errors-and-warnings-in-ms-access created to download these reports, on a rolling interval of about 30 days. Then add any new records into the Access database. Since I'm leaving soon, I won't have time to test this database, and would like to have some method of documenting errors and warnings that are thrown; everything from a duplicate entry warning to a type mismatch error, or a syntax error in some SQL query. Is this possible and if so what do you think would be the most effective way to go about it? Maybe while my import macro is running open up an error handling function? We are working in Access 2007 if that helps. vba ms-access-2007 access-vba share|improve this question asked Jan 11 '12 at 16:53 Tom 3183618 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote accepted You can write to a text file, for the most part, in the error handling routine for each relevant procedure. You may need to watch out for the more serious errors and do something else with them. You will also probably need to watch out for DAO errors, not quite the same thing as code errors (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/HV080753531.aspx). There may be other errors that you wish to raise yourself: Err.Raise vbObjectError + 100 See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa241678(v=vs.60).aspx LogError (ErrNo & " " & ErrDescr & " " & ErrInfo) Sub LogError(strError) Const ForAppending = 8 Dim strPath As String Dim fs As Object Dim a As Object strPath = GetDataDirectory Set fs = CreateObject("Scriptin
and Tips LegalMarch 2015I have now retired and am taking on no new work. I'd like to thank all our customers over the past 20 years. http://www.alvechurchdata.co.uk/hints-and-tips/accerrorlog.html It really has been a most enjoyable time.An Access Error Log http://allenbrowne.com/AppLogDocUse.html 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 ms access 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 ms access log 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 & "
feedback on how people use your application, and may help diagnose crashes or corruptions. To use it, copy the logging table and code from the sample database, and set two properties for each form or report. You need not write or modify any code. To use it in your database: Download the sample database (21kb zipped, for Access 2000 and later.) Open your database, and import the table (tblLogDoc) and the module (ajbLogDoc.)In Access 2007 or 2010, click the Access icon on the Import chunk of the External Data ribbon.In earlier versions, choose Get External on the File menu. Set the On Open and On Close properties of each form or report in your database, like this: PropertyFor a formFor a report On Open=LogDocOpen([Form])=LogDocOpen([Report]) On Close=LogDocClose([Form])=LogDocClose([Report]) (Note: do not substitute your form/report name; use Form and Report exactly as shown.) If these properties are already set to [Event Procedure], click the Build button (...) beside this. Access will open the code window. Insert a line into the event procedure code, like this: Call LogDocOpen(Me) and for the Close event: Call LogDocClose(Me) To temporarily turn off logging for all forms/reports in your database, change True to False on this line (towards the top of the module): Private Const mbLogDox As Boolean = False You can view the code for this utility in a separate window. What's in thelog? The fields in logging table are: Field Data Comment LogDocID Autonumber Primary key OpenDateTime When the document was opened Blank if a close event cannot find the matching open CloseDateTime When the document was closed Blank if not marked as closed (e.g. a crash) DocTypeID 2= form, 3 = report (the constants acForm and acReport) Forms/reports can have the same name DocName Name of the form/report DocHWnd Operating system number for the window containing the form/report. Distinguish multiple instances of the same form ComputerName Workstation that opened/closed the document Helps identify a crashing computer that causes corruption WinUser User as currently logged into the Windows Helps identify a user
