Flickering Error message: Check duplicates
I'm not sure what I have done ... nothing as far as I can tell but obviously
something. I have used the Contacts management template as the basis of a Contacts/ Event database. A couple of issues have arisen - but the most annoying one is the appearance of a flickering Error message (where a warning about possible duplicates appears) in the Contact Details form. The Properties are - Text box: txtDuplicatesWarning and the code that comes up in the Expression Builder is: =IIf(DCount("*","[Contacts Extended]","[ID]" & Nz([ContactID],0) & " And [Contact Name] = '" & Replace(Nz([Contact Name]),"'","''") & "'")0,"Possible Duplicate","") ContactsExtended is a query that came built in with the template which I haven't changed - though I have done some work on the Contact Details form on which the error is displayed - adding fields from the Contacts table) Is there something obviously wrong? The warning would be useful but the flickering Error definitely isn't! If you need any more information, please let me know! Many thanks |

Hi Kathryn,
Did you put that code in the ControlSource of the TextBox? Kathryn wrote: I'm not sure what I have done ... nothing as far as I can tell but obviously something.

Flickering Error message: Check duplicates
Hi - sorry for the delay in getting back to you - it's been a bit manic with the other side of my work this week! To answer the question - no, I didn't put the code in. I used the Contacts Management template as the basis of our own and up until last week it worked fine. To be honest, I hadn't checked what code was there as I'm so new I wouldn't have known how to! I've learnt a lot but can't say whether it changed from one day - when it worked - to the next when it didn't Not much help I know but hopefully you can prompt what other information you might need.

Without looking at the actual database, I can only ask rather generic
questions. What version of Access are you using? Are all of the Service Packs and HotFixes applied?

Hi
I am using Access 2007 and, as far as I'm aware, everything is up to date. The database includes a Contacts table from which there is a Query: Contacts Extended... SQL of which is: SELECT IIf(IsNull([LastName]),IIf(IsNull([FirstName]),[Company],[FirstName]),IIf(IsNull([FirstName]),[LastName],[LastName] & ", " & [FirstName])) AS [File As], IIf(IsNull([LastName]),IIf(IsNull([FirstName]),[Company],[FirstName]),IIf(IsNull([FirstName]),[LastName],[FirstName] & " " & [LastName])) AS [Contact Name], Contacts.* FROM Contacts ORDER BY IIf(IsNull([LastName]),IIf(IsNull([FirstName]),[Company],[FirstName]),IIf(IsNull([FirstName]),[LastName],[LastName] & ", " & [FirstName])), IIf(IsNull([LastName]),IIf(IsNull([FirstName]),[Company],[FirstName]),IIf(IsNull([FirstName]),[LastName],[FirstName] & " " & [LastName])); This is useful as it has all sorts of built in SmartTags associated with it (Schedule meeting/ send e-mail, etc) - but I could probably just use the Contacts Table if that will make life easier. The Form causing the problems has as its RecordSource the Contacts Extended query. I'm not sure why that and not the Contacts Table - again, it may be easier to use the Contacts Table. If I did that, would it be possible to change the "Check Duplicates" warning to match? The Expression Builder currently reads: =IIf(DCount("*","[Contacts Extended]","[ID]" & Nz([ContactID],0) & " And [Contact Name] = '" & Replace(Nz([Contact Name]),"'","''") & "'")0,"Possible Duplicate","") I hope that's more help!

I would always recommend using queries and a RecordSource rather than a table
directly. Here is a link to a site you may find useful. http://allenbrowne.com/Access2007.html#Bugs There was a flickering issue with ac2003 as I recall that a HotFix resolved. It was on a Tabbed form. Kathryn wrote: Hi I am using Access 2007 and, as far as I'm aware, everything is up to date.
