Removetempvar macro action

You can use the RemoveTempVar macro action in Access desktop databases to remove a single temporary variable that you created by using the SetTempVar action.

Setting

The RemoveTempVar macro action has the following argument.

Action argument	Description
Name	Enter the name of the temporary variable you want to remove.

Remarks

• You can have up to 255 temporary variables defined at one time. If you do not remove a temporary variable, it will remain in memory until you close the database. It is a good practice to remove temporary variables when you are finished using them.

• Access automatically removes all temporary variables when you close the database or project.

• If you misspell the name of the variable to be removed, Access does not display an error. The variable you wanted to remove will remain in memory until you close the database.

• If you have created more than one temporary variable and you want to remove them all at once, use the RemoveAllTempVars action.

• To run the RemoveTempVar action in a VBA module, use the Remove method of the TempVars object.

Example

The following macro demonstrates how to create a temporary variable, use it in a condition and a message box, and then remove the temporary variable by using the RemoveTempVar action.

Condition	Action	Arguments
	SetTempVar	Name: MyVar Expression: InputBox("Enter a non-zero number.")
[TempVars]![MyVar]<>0	MsgBox	Message: ="You entered " & [TempVars]![MyVar] & "." Beep: Yes Type: Information
	RemoveTempVar	Name: MyVar
