Check Duplicate with VBA - microsoft.public.access.formscoding

Dear all, Can I do check duplicate using VBA when user enter data in a certain field? If the data that tuser entered was already in the system, give a message 'Duplicate data' and the user have to enter a new data. Thank you in advance.

Use the control's BeforeUpdate event to check your table's data (code sample below assumes the field is a numeric data type): Private Sub NameOfTextbox_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If DCount("*", "NameOfYourTable", "NameOfFieldBeingChecked=" & _ Me.NameOfTextbox.Value) > 0 Then Cancel = True MsgBox "Duplicate data!" Me.NameOfTextbox.Undo End If End Sub -- Ken Snell <MS ACCESS MVP> "KimTong via AccessMonster.com" <u35279@uwe> wrote in message news:7c00cb7a836f1@uwe... > Dear all, > > Can I do check duplicate using VBA when user enter data in a certain > field? > If the data that tuser entered was already in the system, give a message > 'Duplicate data' and the user have to enter a new data. > > Thank you in advance. > > KT > > -- > Message posted via AccessMonster.com > http://www.accessmonster.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/access-formscoding/200711/1 >

But it's giving to me an error like this "missing query operator..." What I'm doing wrong? Many Thanks. Stefano.

The code I posted uses generic names. Post the code that you're trying to use so that we can see the actual names and how you've constructed the code. -- Ken Snell <MS ACCESS MVP> <riccifs@tin.it> wrote in message news:7f3c7414-f33f-4636-9131-3f80aa6bc395@v4g2000hsf.googlegroups.com... > On 30 Nov, 22:12, "Ken Snell $MVP$" > <kthsneisll...@ncoomcastt.renaetl> wrote: >> Use the control's BeforeUpdate event to check your table's data (code >> sample >> below assumes the field is a numeric data type): >> >> Private Sub NameOfTextbox_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) >> If DCount("*", "NameOfYourTable", "NameOfFieldBeingChecked=" & _ >> Me.NameOfTextbox.Value) > 0 Then >> Cancel = True >> MsgBox "Duplicate data!" >> Me.NameOfTextbox.Undo >> End If >> End Sub >> >> -- >> >> Ken Snell >> <MS ACCESS MVP> >> >> "KimTong via AccessMonster.com" <u35279@uwe> wrote in >> messagenews:7c00cb7a836f1@uwe... >> >> >> >> >> >> > Dear all, >> >> > Can I do check duplicate using VBA when user enter data in a certain >> > field? >> > If the data that tuser entered was already in the system, give a >> > message >> > 'Duplicate data' and the user have to enter a new data. >> >> > Thank you in advance. >> >> > KT >> >> > -- >> > Message posted via AccessMonster.com >> >http://www.accessmonster.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/access-formscoding/200711/1 > > Hi Ken, > I was trying to use your code to check for duplicates entry.

Hi Ken, I copied and pasted your code as you posted and I changed it with my name. Private Sub Ragione_sociale_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If DCount("*", "tblEsercenti", "Ragione_sociale=" & _ Me.Ragione_sociale.Value) > 0 Then Cancel = True MsgBox "Duplicate data!"

Hi Ken, with the help of Geppo I finally got a solution for my problem. Many thanks the same for your interest about it, I really appreciate that! Bye, Stefano.

Hi Ken, I just to run your script, but the message said "Data Type mismatch" on this part: If DCount("*", "Roger", "AWB=" & _ Me.AWB.Value) > 0 Then I am sure I have the same data type between those 2 fields.
