[AccessD] Not In List Event

Hi Rocky

But what is that about percent? If you display percentages, you should enter 18 or 25 or 18.0 or the like.

"That is not possible(?) ..."  I agree.  That's what I thought when it first happened.  :)

Here's the code from the module:

   dblNewVal = Val(NewData)
    intReply = MsgBox("The value " & NewData & " is not in the " & Me.fldBaitPercent.Tag _
        & " percent list. Do you want to add it?", vbYesNo)
    If intReply = vbNo Then
        Response = acDataErrContinue
    Else
        
        Set db = CurrentDb
        Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Select Top 1 * FROM tblPercents")
        rs.AddNew
        rs!fldPercentType = Me.fldBaitPercent.Tag
        rs!fldPercentValue = dblNewVal
        rs.Update
        rs.Close
        Set rs = Nothing
        Me.fldBaitPercent = dblNewVal
        Response = acDataErrAdded
    End If 

And I just did a copy and paste from your code below just to make sure there
wasn't some subtle difference I was missing. But no luck.

And just to eliminate the possibility that there's something about the form
that's causing it, I created a new form, copied over the combo box, added
the NotInList event code, and got the same result.

Then I thought maybe the combo box has something funny going on in it.  So I
created a new combo box on the new form, added the NotInList code, row
source, etc.  Same result.  It's got to have something to do with the data
because the leading zero makes it work right.


Access...gotta love it...

Rocky

Hi Rocky

That is not possible(?) ...
NewData only appears here:

    dblNewVal = Val(NewData)

Did you modify the code in full as shown?

Gustav:

I got the same result.   

I unbound the combo box just to eliminate that variable, but no difference.
The format of the combo box is Percent.  So I also tried taking that out.
But entering .18 still generates the error message and entering 0.18 works
fine.

Now I should note that after I get the standard error message ("The text you
entered is not an item..."etc) the value I entered is displayed in the combo
box.  Although the focus is still on the box.  So if I can get rid of that
message, I think everything else would be OK.

TIA

Rocky

Hi Rocky

You probably pass a string that needs to be converted:

        rs!fldPercentValue = Val(NewData)

Thus:

    dblNewVal = Val(NewData)
    intReply = MsgBox("The value " & Format(dblNewVal, "Fixed") & " is not in the " & Me.fldBaitPercent.Tag _
        & " percent list. Do you want to add it?", vbYesNo, "New Value")
    If intReply = vbNo Then
        Response = acDataErrContinue
    Else
        Set db = CurrentDb
        Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Select Top 1 * FROM tblPercents")
        rs.AddNew
        rs!fldPercentType = Me.fldBaitPercent.Tag
        rs!fldPercentValue = dblNewVal
        rs.Update
        rs.Close
        Set rs = Nothing
        Me.fldBaitPercent = dblNewVal
        Response = acDataErrAdded
    End If

Jurgen:

I added the dblNewVal = rs!fldPercentValue and Me.fldBaitPercent = dblNewVal
where you indicated:

    intReply = MsgBox("The value " & NewData & " is not in the " & Me.fldBaitPercent.Tag _
        & " percent list. Do you want to add it?", vbYesNo)
    If intReply = vbNo Then
        Response = acDataErrContinue
    Else
        Set db = CurrentDb
        Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Select * FROM tblPercents")
        rs.AddNew
        rs!fldPercentType = Me.fldBaitPercent.Tag
        rs!fldPercentValue = NewData
        dblNewVal = rs!fldPercentValue
        rs.Update
        rs.Close
        Set rs = Nothing
        Me.fldBaitPercent = dblNewVal
        Response = acDataErrAdded
    End If

But it made no difference.  If I enter a new value like 0.25 is works but if I enter just .25 it fails. 

TIA
