Hello,

I was wondering if it would be possible to have a message box pop up after an update to a record has been made stating what field or fields have been updated. I have update 20 fields that can be possibly updated, but not all will be updated. Instead of showing a generic "Record has been updated successfully", I would like the message box to say what field(s) was updated.
Is this possible? If so, how can I achieve this?


Thank you

The message box appears when only one field has been updated. However, if the user updates more than one filed, the message box will not appear at all.
That's what I mean by it does nothing.


Therefore, I need to find a way to write in the code for all updated fields to appear in the message box when more than 1 field has been updated. Not just 1 field alone.

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
OK, I can see a problem.

Intsr returns a number for the position of the text being searched for, so you should be testing for > 0

Then when you have it working then concatenate the other fields.

FWIW I cannot see it producing anything with what you have at present?, not even one control

I believe that test is being made (post 17 or so).
MHamid: when you post what the current situation is, you are far too vague. Not working, etc. is of no help to us. You are not thinking of it in terms of what we get to look at (which is far less than you). You might get more focused responses and quicker solutions if you treat your audience more like children and less like scientists who are working right along side of you, seeing everything you see. I don't say this just because of this thread - I've noticed it's the way you provide information in many of your posts.

You might have to provide access to a copy of your db if you can't provide more than cursory explanations of what happens.

Yes, I see I missed that, sorry. The O/P still needs to walk through the code step by step I believe. I always do that when code 'should' be doing something and it is not. That way i find where my 'silly' error is.

Re F8: that is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. See post 19's response to that suggestion.

Hello,

I am not sure as to how else to explain the issue.

When I go into the code and press F8, I don't see anything happening. There is no error message, there is no indication that it's going through the code step by step. Please explain how I'm supposed to be going through the code step by step using F8. What am I expected to see happen when F8 is pressed? I am a novice with VBA coding and I don't know all of the terminology.

As for the message box, I see that the code itself works when I test it for one field in the form being updated. I update just ONE field and I see my message box letting know what field was updated. Let's say I just updated the Entered By field ONLY, then I will see my message box stating "You updated - Entered By". However, when I update 2 or more fields and once, I don't see the message box at all letting me know all of these fields that have been updated. From what I understand, I'm supposed to concatenate the fields that have been updated. But I don't understand how I'm supposed to concatenate these updated fields so the message box could say:
"You updated
- Entered By
Main Section
Topic Section
Notes"

Can you please give me an example as to how I'm supposed to concatenate the updated fields and place it in my message box? Or direct me to a link that will give me similar information about how to do something like this?

Ok, I am trying to concatenate the string for the updated fields.


This is the code that I have now. Yes, the code is long now due to the attempt of concatenation. I am getting the error message "Run-Time error '91': Object variable or With block variable not set". What did I do wrong?

Code: 
Dim ctl As Control
Dim strMsg As String
Dim strUpdated As String

strUpdated = ""

If ctl.OldValue <> Me.EnteredBy Then
    strUpdated = Me.EnteredBy.Name & vbCrLf
End If

    strUpdated = strUpdated & Me.DateEntered.Name & vbCrLf & Me.Approved.Name & vbCrLf & Me.CycleMonth.Name & vbCrLf

It goes to the beginning of the code. Since it states that it was missing a with statement, I added it

But I just updated that code and tested and the message box gives me all field names, but I just need the names of the fields that were updated. Looking at the code closely I see that it's wrong anyways and will not give me what I need. As it stands now, the code below will give me a message box with all fields even if it was not updated ... back to the drawing board.

Code: 
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
    With ctl
        Select Case .ControlType
            Case acTextBox, acComboBox, acCheckBox
                If ctl.OldValue <> Me.EnteredBy Then
                    strUpdated = Me.EnteredBy.Name & vbCrLf

I have also changed the code to the one below and now I get a message box letting me know that the last field was updated. For instance, if I updated Count and Priority, then the message will tell me that Priority was updated ... not Count and Priority.

Code: 
Private Sub UpdateRecord_Click()
Dim ctl As Control
Dim strMsg As String

strMsg = ""
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
    With ctl
        Select Case .ControlType
            Case acTextBox, acComboBox, acCheckBox
                If InStr(ctl.Tag, "Compare") > 0 And Nz(ctl.Value) <> Nz(ctl.OldValue) Then
                    If ctl.OldValue <> ctl.Value Then strMsg = "- " & ctl.ControlSource & vbCrLf
                End If
        End Select
    End With
Next
If strMsg <> "" Then MsgBox "You updated:" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & strMsg, vbInformation, "SUCCESS!"
 
exitHere:
Exit Sub
errHandler:
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description
Resume exitHere
End Sub
