[RESOLVED] Error

Hello Guys,

Can anyone help me please?

Here is the problem

Run-time error'5';

Invalid procedure call or argument

This is my code.

The error comes up highlighted

vb Code:

Open FileName For Random As #1 Len = Len(OneMember)

Can anyone help me solve this problem please?

Hang on Mark I am getting on msn message me.

On what line are you getting the error?

You also could put you code in a more readable format especially if you want others to read it and help...

Here is the full code and the error is on line 104 i think.

What do you mean "YOU THINK". Didn't you run it in the IDE and get the error? It would stop on the line in question...

I am helping him solve it. He is getting it on line 104.

OK, So why are you off line helping instead of helping him here where other can benefit

Because we are actively chatting and discussing where it would spam the board.

I have attached my code so you guys can take a look.

Actually that is the least of your worries. Try putting Option Explicit in the top of all your forms/modules/classes... You will see what I mean. This program will never work properly in it's current state.

Actually i got that part working now thanks

I have come across another little error when i type in the Membership Number of the persion i want to delete it lets me delete them from the prgram but when i open the data file in notpad the information is still there here is the code below for deleteing the member.

vb Code:

Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
    
    Dim MemberID As String
    Dim MemberDeleted As Boolean
    Dim Duplicate As Boolean
    Dim Response As Integer
    Dim OneMember As MemberType
    If cmdOK.Caption = "Add Member" Then
        If Len(txtMemberIDAdd.Text) = 6 Then
        MemberID = txtMemberIDAdd.Text
        Duplicate = CheckDuplicateMemberID(MemberID)
    If Not Duplicate Then
    If (txtSurname.Text <> "") And (txtFirstname.Text <> "") And _
                                                                    (lstCategory.Text <> "") Then
    OneMember.MemberID = txtMemberIDAdd.Text
    OneMember.Surname = txtSurname.Text
    OneMember.Firstname = txtFirstname.Text
    If lstCategory.Text = "Senior" Then
        OneMember.Category = "S"
    Else
        OneMember.Category = "J"
    End If
    
    OneMember.Deleted = "N"
    Call AddMember(OneMember)
    txtMemberIDAdd.Text = ""
    txtSurname.Text = ""

    Else

    txtMemberIDAdd.SetFocus
    End If
    Else
    MemberID = txtMemberIDDelete.Text
    If MemberID = "" Then
    MsgBox ("You haven't entered a membership number")
    Else
    Response = MsgBox("Confirm you want to delete this number?", _
                                                                    vbYesNo)
    If Response = 6 Then
        MemberDeleted = DeleteMember(MemberID)
        txtMemberIDDelete.Text = ""
        If Not MemberDeleted Then
        MsgBox "Member not deleted. Membership number " _
                                                            & MemberID & " does not exist"

        End If
        End If
        End If

and

vb Code:

    Dim OneMember As MemberType
    Dim RecordNumber As Integer
    Dim Found As Boolean
    RecordNumber = 0
    Found = False

Didn't you read post #11 or are you just going trial and error?

Yes, I read post 11 i have addred Option Explicit to all forms but it wont delete the text from the text file can u help please?

You should have gotten all sorts of undefined variable errors. Did you correct those?

BTW: What do you mean "won't delete the text"?

Are you getting any errors? etc...

All errors have been sorted now.

Apart from the delete one, when i click delete memeber it deletes the member from the program and then dosent recognize it but its not been deleted from the Members.dat file.

You realize you need to post the code for we have no idea what you mean...

I have attacked code its on frmMembers.

How do you run your app???? As soon as I started it I got this error

Sub, Function, or Property not defined (Error 35)

Call cmdDisplayMember_Click

You don't run with full compile do you???? How do you expect to catch all the errors before they catch you?

I'm sorry again i have fixed the errors now everything should work sorry again.

Still need help with the delete tho.

OK, It runs now (You still have other errors). So, what do I do with it???

You run the program, then click on Memberships, Then you fill in the information required for Membership ID put 465736 then hit save then once its saved click on the other option button and type in 465736 and hit the delete button then check the Members.dat file and you'll see that it hasnt deleted it from the file.

Your code is very hard to follow without proper indenting...

Im sorry about that are you able to help with the deleteing from the file.

It deletes here... Why do you think it does not get marked as delete?
You are also doing some very bad usage of file handles

Use

Code:

---

Dim fNum as Integer

fNum = FreeFile

---

to get your file handle "NEVER" hardcode the file handle... IE #1

How do i add this in to my program?

You do that everywhere you open a file...

Code:

---

Dim fNum as Integer

fNum = FreeFile
Open yourfilename for random as #fnum

---

Like

vb Code:

Dim fNum as Integer
 
fNum = FreeFile
Open "\members.dat" for random as #fNum

Yes, but I would refrain from using the actual filename there. I would use a variable and define the filename as a constant. This way if the filename should change or the location you won't have to change it several times in your app. IE...

Code:

---

Public Const sMemberFile = "\members.dat"  ' This is declared in a module

---

And in your forms and/or other modules something like

Code:

---

Private Sub AddMember()
Dim fNum as Integer

  fNum = FreeFile
  Open App.Path & sMemberFile for random as #fnum
  ...
  Close Fnum
End Sub

---

Can you add it to the modules and forms for me please so i can see what u mean?

It is straight forward...

Please.

I have my own work to do... You will have to at least attempt.

So do i add my other code underneath this code?. I'll get back to you later if i come across errors.

Thanks

vb code Code:

Private Sub AddMember()
Dim fNum as Integer
 
   fNum = FreeFile
   Open App.Path & sMemberFile for random as #fnum
   ...
   Close Fnum
End Sub

All i need it to do is delete the text from the text file becouse the program deletes it from the file and the program dosent see it in the notepad. I have attached the code below.

Did you write this code??? The code is clear what it does. It just marks the record deleted, it doesn't actually remove it from the file.

Yeah i need it to delete from the file if possible.

Then you will have to read thru the file and write a new file and just do not include the record in question.

I think ill keep it the way ive got it actually.

Another thing I have done some code an dit dosent seem to want to copy the files can you help me please.?

vb Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
    Dim Index As Integer
    Dim OptionChoice As Integer
    For Index = 1 To 4
        If optUtilities(Index).Value = True Then

    Dim OneGame As GameType
    Dim TableNumber As Integer
    Open App.Path & "\CurrentGames.dat" For Random As #1 Len = Len(OneGame)
    For TableNumber = 1 To MaxTables
        OneGame.MembersID = ""
        OneGame.TableID = TableNumber
        OneGame.Occupied = "N"
        Put #1, TableNumber, OneGame
    Next TableNumber
    Close #1
End Sub
 
Public Sub ChangeCostOfGame()
    Dim FileName As String
    Dim SeniorCost As String
    Dim JuniorCost As String
    SeniorCost = txtSeniorCost.Text
    JuniorCost = txtJuniorCost.Text
    If (Not IsNumeric(SeniorCost)) Or (Not IsNumeric(JuniorCost)) Then
        MsgBox ("One or both of the rates are not numbers.  Please re-enter")
    Else
        FileName = App.Path & "\Costs.txt"
        Open FileName For Output As #1
        Print #1, SeniorCost, JuniorCost
        Close #1
    End If
End Sub

Didn't seem to???? Exactly what happened and where. You do have to debug the code... at least give a clue to a specific place are or aren't happening.

Just a quick look... In your destination you do not have a fully qualified path. That is probably the problem. Did you look up the FileCopy Command?

http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/...s/FileCopy.htm

I'm sorry.

I get this error

Run-time error '75':
Path/File access error

And then it highlights line 48.

Even when i put

vb Code:

Public Sub BackupMembersFile()
    Dim Source As String
    Dim Destination As String
    Source = App.Path & "\Members.dat"
    Destination = "C:\Members.dat"
    FileCopy Source, Destination
End Sub

Still get same error?

Does the file already exist? You will need to delete it first.

BTW: Which is line 48....

Line 6

The file Exists in my folder but im trying to get it to copy over on to the c drive.

The question was does the file exist where you are attempting to copy the file?

Do you have write access rights to the root of the drive?

Why would you want to copy to the root of the drive anyway?

The file dosent exist where im trying to copy it to.

Im root administrator so i think so

just using it as an example at the moment will change in the future tho.

The do a Debug.Print on the Source to see what it contains.

Sorry wrong

I made a folder called BackUps in the same folder as the program how do i get it to save it in there.

I used and it worked

vb Code:

Public Sub BackupMembersFile()
    Dim Source As String
    Dim Destination As String
    Source = App.Path & "\Members.dat"
    Destination = "D:\Members.dat"
    FileCopy Source, Destination
End Sub

Now i tryed the bellow code and wont work?

vb Code:

Public Sub BackupMembersFile()
    Dim Source As String
    Dim Destination As String
    Source = App.Path & "\Members.dat"
    Destination = "BackUps\Members.dat"
    FileCopy Source, Destination
End Sub

Sorry wrong

I made a folder called BackUps in the same folder as the program how do i get it to save it in there.

I used and it worked

vb Code:

Public Sub BackupMembersFile()
    Dim Source As String
    Dim Destination As String
    Source = App.Path & "\Members.dat"
    Destination = "D:\Members.dat"
    FileCopy Source, Destination
End Sub

Now i tryed the bellow code and wont work?

vb Code:

Public Sub BackupMembersFile()
    Dim Source As String
    Dim Destination As String
    Source = App.Path & "\Members.dat"
    Destination = "BackUps\Members.dat"
    FileCopy Source, Destination
End Sub

In the IDE you set a breakpoint in your code and start the program. It will stop at the breakpoint then you can step thru the code with f8.

Perhaps this will help http://www.engineering.usu.edu/cee/f...BDebugging.htm

Of course it doesn't work... You are back to the same thing as before, a non fully qualified destination.

So how would that work?

That works fine.

But how will it work on other comps now?

How do i get it to copy to desktop?

vb Code:

Public Sub BackupMembersFile()
    Dim Source As String
    Dim Destination As String
    Source = App.Path & "\Members.dat"
    Destination = "C:\Users\Mark\Documents\Marks Source Codes\Smiley's Snooker\BackUps\Members.dat"
    FileCopy Source, Destination
End Sub

That is why you do not use hard code paths. You need to use relative paths unless you know exactly where you will be placing the files.

Why not just make create the backup folder in the App.Path and reference it there?

I used this code on post 54 and it works fine how do i get it just to save on desktop. So it works for everyone.

I just explained that...

I dont know how to change it?

Destination = App.Path "\BackUps\Members.dat"
