Default Check For Existing Record

I have a unique index set on two fields in my table, InspDate and StoreNo. I
am trying to trap the error of attempting to add a duplicate by having the
code below in the LostFocus Event for the InspDate. I am running around in
circles. Can someone please help?


Private Sub InspDate_LostFocus()
If DMInspections.StoreNo = True Then
ElseIf DMInspDet.InspDate = True Then
MsgBox "Store and Inspection Date already exist. Please correct"
Me.InspDate.SetFocus
Else: Me.DMnameID.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub

Usually verification code is placed in the BeforeUpdate event of a control
using a Domain function to look for duplicates.

Default Check For Existing Record

Here is my solution for multiple field duplication. I first join the two
fields in a query. For your example I would do this in a query.
NoDuplicates:[InspDate]&""&[StoreNo]
Now that you have one field named NoDuplicates to deal with, in the "Before
Update" event of InspDate you would use this code

If not IsNull(DLookup("[NoDuplicates]", (YourQueryName), "[NoDuplicates]=" &
Forms(YourFormName)![InspDate])) Then
MsgBox "Store and Inspection Date already exist. Please correct",
vbCritical, "Duplicate Entry"
End If
Exit Sub

Dont know if this will help but this works for me.

Can you please explain "Domain Function".

Either the Dlookup() or DCount() functions as the next post shows.

Why would you concatenate the fields? (And you've forgotten to concatenate
the StoreNo into the argument you're passing to DLookup)

As well, you need to check in the BeforeUpdate of both InspDate and StoreNo,
since you can't be sure what order the fields will be filled in. Use a
generic function like:

Function DuplicateValue() As Boolean

If IsNull(Format(Forms![YourFormName]![InspDate]) And _
IsNull(Forms![YourFormName]![StoreNo]) = False Then
DuplicateValue = (IsNull(DLookup("StoreNo", "[YourTableName]", _
"[InspDate] = " & Format(Forms![YourFormName]![InspDate],
"\#yyyy\-mm\-dd\#") & _
" AND [StoreNo] = " & Forms![YourFormName]![StoreNo]) = False)
End If

End Function

You can then call that function in the BeforeUpdate event of both controls:

Private Sub InspDate_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)

If DuplicateValue() = True Then
MsgBox "Store and Inspection Date already exist. Please correct", _
vbCritical, "Duplicate Entry"
Cancel = True
End If

End Sub

Private Sub StoreNo_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)

If DuplicateValue() = True Then
MsgBox "Store and Inspection Date already exist. Please correct", _
vbCritical, "Duplicate Entry"
Cancel = True
End If

End Sub

I would recommend using the form BeforeUpdate event.
There is no certainty that any control will get the focus.
When more than one field, thus more than one control, the testing is more
complex and likely to be less accurate.

I am getting this message "Runtime error 424" "Object Required". The second
and third lines, below, are highlighted in the debug screen.


Private Sub InspDate_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)

If Not IsNull(DLookup("[NoDuplicates]", (qryFrmAddDMInsp), "[NoDuplicates]="
& frmAddDMInspections![InspDate])) Then
MsgBox "Store and Inspection Date already exist. Please correct",
vbCritical, "Duplicate Entry"
End If
Exit Sub

You are missing quote marks------------v---------------------v
If Not IsNull(DLookup("[NoDuplicates]", (qryFrmAddDMInsp), "[NoDuplicates]="
& frmAddDMInspections![InspDate])) Then

Should be:
If Not IsNull(DLookup("[NoDuplicates]", "qryFrmAddDMInsp", "[NoDuplicates]="
& frmAddDMInspections![InspDate])) Then

Thank you. Can you please tell me where I need to put the Function?

As well, you need to check in the BeforeUpdate of both InspDate and StoreNo,

"\#yyyy\-mm\-dd\#") & _
" AND [StoreNo] = " & Forms![YourFormName]![StoreNo]) = False)
End If

End Function

You can then call that function in the BeforeUpdate event of both controls:

Private Sub InspDate_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)

If DuplicateValue() = True Then
MsgBox "Store and Inspection Date already exist. Please correct", _
vbCritical, "Duplicate Entry"
Cancel = True
End If

End Sub

Private Sub StoreNo_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)

If DuplicateValue() = True Then
MsgBox "Store and Inspection Date already exist. Please correct", _
vbCritical, "Duplicate Entry"
Cancel = True
End If

End Sub
