I'm having a problem with an Access 2010 database where the Primary Key of a new record is also being added to a non-related field when I move to another control on the linked form.
My minimal database consists of a single table called Teams
. There are four fields in the table:
+-----------------+-----------+-----------+--------------+
| TeamID | TeamName | CostCode | SortOrder |
+-----------------+-----------+-----------+--------------+
| AutoNumber (PK) | Text(255) | Text(255) | Long Integer |
+-----------------+-----------+-----------+--------------+
This table is linked by the Record Source
to a form called Edit_Teams
.
There are three controls on the form:
+-----------------+-------------+-----------+------------------------------------+
| Control: | TextBox | TextBox | ComboBox |
+-----------------+-------------+-----------+------------------------------------+
| Name: | txtCostCode | txtTeamID | cmbTeamName |
| Control Source: | CostCode | TeamID | - |
| Row Source: | - | - | SELECT TeamID, TeamName FROM Teams |
+-----------------+-------------+-----------+------------------------------------+
The combobox
is bound to column 1, Limit To List = Yes
The form has some code to keep the combobox in sync with the rest of the form when you move between records:
Private Sub Form_Current()
If Not IsNull(Me.txtTeamID) Then
Me.cmbTeamName.Requery
Me.cmbTeamName = Me.txtTeamID
If Me.cmbTeamName <> 0 Then
'Some other code that adds stuff to a subform.
Me.Refresh
End If
Else
Me.cmbTeamName = 0
End If
End Sub
The combobox has two events:
Private Sub cmbTeamName_AfterUpdate()
If Me.cmbTeamName = "0" Then
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Else
GoToBookmark Me, "TeamID", cmbTeamName
If cmbTeamName <> 0 Then
'Some other code that adds stuff to a subform.
Me.Refresh
End If
End If
End Sub
and
Private Sub cmbTeamName_NotInList(NewData As String, Response As Integer)
With DoCmd
.SetWarnings False
If MsgBox("Add '" & NewData & "' as a new team?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion) = vbYes Then
.RunSQL "INSERT INTO Teams(TeamName, CostCode, SortOrder) " & _
"VALUES ('" & NewData & "', Null," & DCount("TeamID", "Teams") + 1 & ")"
Response = acDataErrAdded
Me.cmbTeamName = Me.cmbTeamName.ItemData(0) 'Move to an item that exists so Requery doesn't fire NotInList.
Me.Requery
GoToBookmark Me, "TeamName", NewData
Me.cmbTeamName.Requery
Me.cmbTeamName = DLookup("TeamID", "Teams", "TeamName='" & TeamName & "'")
Me.txtCostCode.SetFocus
Else
Response = acDataErrContinue
Me.cmbTeamName.Undo
End If
.SetWarnings True
End With
End Sub
There's also this which is used within the previous procedures:
Public Sub GoToBookmark(frm As Form, FieldName As String, FieldValue As String)
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim rst_Type As Long
On Error GoTo ERR_HANDLE
Set rst = frm.RecordsetClone
FieldName = "[" & FieldName & "]"
Select Case rst.Fields(FieldName).Type
Case 4 'dbLong
rst.FindFirst FieldName & "=" & FieldValue
Case 10 'dbText
rst.FindFirst FieldName & "='" & FieldValue & "'"
End Select
If Not (rst.BOF And rst.EOF) Then
frm.Recordset.Bookmark = rst.Bookmark
End If
rst.Close
EXIT_PROC:
Set rst = Nothing
On Error GoTo 0
Exit Sub
ERR_HANDLE:
'Commented out so I don't have to post the DisplayError procedures.
'DisplayError Err.Number, Err.Description, "mdl_GoToBookMark.GoToBookmark()"
Resume EXIT_PROC
End Sub
The problem:
When I type a new team name into the combobox it asks whether I want to add it to the team list, it then adds the team and moves me to the CostCode textbox where I can type in a cost code if available.
If a cost code isn't available the control should remain blank, but when I move to another control or record (i.e the control loses the focus) then the Primary Key for that record appears in the CostCode textbox and is saved when I change records (losing focus just puts it in the textbox, it doesn't appear in the table until the record is saved).
