Re: [MS_AccessPros] My first Do Loop but with questions

hi Jim,

> " I saw that hyphen and thought why would they use that."

the Access template follows names created by the Outlook structure ... so no thought about good practice went into the names. It makes transferring data easier between Access and Outlook when the names are the same since they don't have to be mapped. Personally, I use good names and map if I need to exchange data.

I, along with others, have talked to Microsoft about the poor naming in the templates -- they should set better examples, especially for Access. If the templates accepted VBA code, you'd see some good examples but since they submissions are limited to macros, it is hard to make a worthy one.

Warm Regards,
Crystal

Crystal,

I am using the template from MS that is for contacts. I saw that hyphen and thought why would they use that. I am using the database to conform to what I want to do. So I am learning new things in it. The do loop is way over due to learn.

I will add your code and try it and then let you know. I am eventually going to add some code that emails a birthday card that is a report saved as a pdf to those in the table each day. I found some code that emails through gmail.

Thank You

Jim Wagner

Hi Jim,

you need to specify where to get [First Name] and [Last Name] as you did with myset![E-mail Address]

to make things more efficient, I surrounded your corrected code with With...End With. I also utilized + in case Last Name or E-mail Address is not filled out. Also added cleanup code

you should avoid using special characters and spaces in names. Underscore _ is ok.

'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
' more statements

With myset
   Do Until myset.EOF

       MyAddress = nz(![E-mail Address],"")
       MsgBox "My name and address" & " " & MyAddress

       MsgBox "My name and address is " _
          & ![First Name] & (" " + ![Last Name] ) & (" " + ![E-mail Address])

      .MoveNext
   Loop
End With

'cleanup code
on error resume next
if not myset is nothing then
   myset.close
   set myset = nothing
end if
set db = nothing

End Sub
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

instead of MsgBox, try using Debug.Print

when you are running the code, you can look at the Immediate (debug) window instead of pressing OK all the time with a MsgBox

press Ctrl-G to Goto the debuG window

Warm Regards,
Crystal

Hello all,

I am practicing my first do loop and questioning why it took me so long to learn this. But here I am with a question.

I have the below code that I am trying to just get a message box to show first, last and address in the msgbox. If I use the first msgbox in the code it works great. The email addresses show up in the msgbox and all is great. But when I try to use the second msgbox in the code, I get the first name from the Contacts table and the email addresses from the tblTodaysBirthdays table cycle through with the same name. But the person's name in the msgbox is from the main table not the table the select statement is based on.

I have several tables involved in the question. The contacts table and the tblTodaysBirthdays. The latter is a table made from a make table query built every day based on the Contacts table.

Private Sub Command281_Click()
Dim mydb As DAO.Database
Dim myset As DAO.Recordset
Dim MyAddress As String

Set mydb = CurrentDb
Set myset = mydb.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM tblTodaysBirthdays where [E-mail Address] is not null")

Do Until myset.EOF

MyAddress = myset![E-mail Address]
'MsgBox "My name and address" & " " & MyAddress
MsgBox "My name and address is" & " " & [First Name] & " " & [Last Name] & " " & MyAddress
myset.MoveNext

Loop
End Sub

What am I missing here?

Thanks for the help

Jim Wagner
