View Repliesusing Access 2010, I have reached the 2GB limit. It's not the data, it's the PDF files I scanned in for each customer that has stretched the db to its limits. The db is also currently split.
I didn't realize Office had a 2GB limit; I assumed if you had a 64 bit computer and a NTFS partition, there would be no 2GB limit.
Using a template database in Access 2010, I need to extract the attachments to a folder and thus link them back to the database using hyperlinks. I can handle this task, but I'm not confident how to extract the attachments from each record (around 900) to a folder and have it do it automatically for all records. I can do it record by record, but that is not feasible with this many records.
how to extract all the attachments for each record, and have them saved in folders by their name or other ID, so I can link them back to the db via a hyperlink?
We are currently using Access 2007 and I've got a database that sends emails out to multiple users depending on the data that was entered. We are about to upgrade to Access 2010 and I am testing it now. I was originally getting runtime error '287' when I was adding addresses to a Recipient object. I got past that by adding the addresses in a string and concatenating. Now I'm getting the error with .Send.

Once the message send, I want the database to recognize and not send it again. I want the database to send a new message if the due date has changed.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to automate the current process of sending an e-mail with a PDF attachment that is unique to each recipient; it is their test results. I'm sending an e-mail one at a time (which was fine when the number of folks being tested was small, but now I'm up to approximately 200 e-mails and growing each year)
System Environment:
Windows 7 SP1 (64 bit)
Office 2010 Professional
Access environment and Process:
1. A qry object/letter is built based on 4 tables (test results, result averages, a global employee list and location)
2. The Report has both static and dynamic text. Examples include: "Dear" [qry-Letter. F_name] and Address Information
a. =[qry-Letters.F_Name] & " " & [qry-Letters.L_Name]
b. =[qry-Letters.Position]
c. ="Dept " & Right([qry-Letters.Dept],3) & ", " & [qry-Letters.City]
3. The report also includes the employee's results, the session averages (testing is conducted at multiple locations each occurrence is a session) and companywide averages.
4. Report Process: Run the report, entering primary key Emp_ID, report is populated saved (overwritten with the next Emp_ID and printed as a saved PDF.
5. MS Outlook: create a new e-mail, text body is common to all e-mails e.g. "attached are your test results" the PDF is attached and the e-mail sent to the recipient (the e-mail address follows the corporate standard, =Trim([qry-Letters.F_Name] & "." & [qry-Letters.L_Name] & "@abc.com")
I have a main menu "MainMenuF" in my database and I would like the database to be able to be searched by any of the column headings. For example I have a table titled "NewLabReportT" this table has many column headings like "Submitted By" "Reviewed By" "Title" "Abstract" etc...
I would like my users to be able to click a radio button with the same column headers on this main menu and have a box that pops up to say "Enter search parameter" and have that parameter be searched in the table "NewLabReportT" and generate a FORM not a REPORT of all of the listings in the database that have that keyword associated to that certain category searched. That way they can "CLICK" the exact field they are looking for and have it open right up to that form.
I have a column graph I created for a report.
The Y axis has number of days.
The X axis has Member ID.
When I make the column graph the data seems to not be in any order. The report is in order by the number of days in ascending order.
How can I have the columns with the largest number show up first and the columns get smaller. I would like the largest column all the way to the left, proceeding the next one in size so it goes from largest to smallest.
I have an Access 2010 database connected to several SharePoint lists. I'd like to be able to print a report (based on a query) and add that report as a .pdf attachment to the record I was looking at when I generated the report.
At the moment I can save the report as a .pdf to a local file store, then upload it as an attachment, but is there any way to skip that step and add it to the correct record automatically?
how to customize my right click "Short-cut" menu in Access 2010. I need a right click menu with ONLY the "Print" and "Print Preview" options for my reports and I would like to disable right click in all other objects.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a VBA module in my Access 2010 database that will send a report as a PDF via email to a predetermined email address. the only problem using the docmd.sendobject method is i keep getting a pop up that says "A program is trying to send an e-mail on your behalf. If this is unexpected, click Deny and verify your antivirus software is up-to-date."
I have a windows task set up at the same time each day to open this database which runs an autoexec that creates this report and using my VBA module sends the email. i want it to just send the email without any imput from me. I want automation.
Here is my code that i am using to create and send the email
"Private Sub Report_Activate()
filename = "Name of file" & Format(Me.Date_time_returned "MMDDYY") & ".pdf"
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, "Name of file", acFormatPDF, "the destination email address goes here",,, "Request completed and sent " & Format(Me.Date_time_returned, "MMDDYY"), "Subject of email goes here", False
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
End Sub"
I have a retort that I want to use an option button to filter the report is a specific date is 48 hours before the current time. I'm not having any luck. Below is the code I have been playing with, but no go.
Private Sub NoMove_Click()
Select Case Me.NoMove.VALUE
Case 1
Me.Filter = "CLM = 'Now() - 48'"
Me.FilterOn = True
End Select
If Me.Filter = "" Then
MsgBox "The filter returned Null"
Else
End If
End Sub
I have developed a database using Access 2010. This is split into a Front End and a Back End.
In the same folder as the Back End I store a number of user modifiable files in either bitmap (.bmp) or MS Word (.doc to retain compatibility with older versions).
Unfortunately, the drive letter where the back end resides will change from location to location and I can't do anything about that.
I have set up a function that returns the location of the folder where the docs reside irrespective of the back end drive location, and this works perfectly with OLE linked pictures but not with OLE linked Word documents. User changes show correctly in Word document changes at locations with the original drive assignment but other locations show only the original doc contents even though they have been changed on the local back end location. - even if I delete the Source Item info on the report!!
An example of the code I am using for the Source Item is <GetBackEndPath() & "Footer.doc"> without the angled brackets of course, where GetBackEndPath() is a global variable storing the location of the documents folder ending with a back slash.
I have tried the above in the reports Source Doc property but Access won't accept this and says it isn't valid for this property.
My report (rptBilling_STS_Summary) has three subreports (rptBilling_STS_Summary_Install, rptBilling_STS_Summary_Rental, rptBilling_STS_Summary_LDRate) that return values that are grouped by customer and calculates a total for each customer.
I need the report to export to excel for our client but every attempt has produced a blank XLS file. I have tried every export method I can think of. This is what I have tried:
Export button from external data ribbon
Export from print preview
Export via macro
Export via VBA (DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rptBilling_STS_Summary", acFormatXLS, , False, , , acExportQualityPrint)
All this has produced the same blank excel file... Very frustrating...
I have searched and found a lot of information on 2007 and it requiring sp2 but all I can find on 2010 is instructional information.
Update: I copied the database to my local PC and when I export the XLS file it opens in protected view.
I have a MS Access 2010 application when the User opens form CONTACTS Form
◦User finds single record to be used CONTACTID is identifier to be used for selection
◦User clicks button to open form frm_MAIL_MERGE
◦Frm_MAIL_MERGE has a drop down combo box that reads the folder location where the application resides and displays all .DOTM files (that is all template files) and one more combo box which contains the CONTACTID.
◦User selects single .dotm file for merge
◦Frm_MAIL_MERGE has either drop down to select CONTACTID or UNBOUND data field for user to type in CONTACTID number
◦User enters CONTACTID to be used for the mail merge
◦User selects SUBMIT
◦Application merges selected .dotm file with the information in table CONTACTS for the selected CONTACTID
◦Merged document is saved on the user Desktop as xxx.docx
Is it possible to have a value in an excel 2010 cell be used to update an access 2010 db?
For example, if in a spreadsheet "test" cell A2=3 then in a db "test" a column "value" is 3. However, if the value in the spreadsheet changes so does the db.
I wish to work in Access 2010 with a subset of my Outlook 2010 contacts (all desktop- no network barriers), so I am exploring the Desktop Contacts DB found in Microsoft's templates. It passes contact data back and forth using the standard macros, but I wish to add more fields from Outlook. It seems I need to find the code associated with the macro. I believe I can solve the problem using a Linked table, but am wondering if there is another solution?
Calendar synchronization is another issue. Linking gets me to the Archive Calendars, but not the Current one in Outlook which is what I want.
Is there anyway that access could create a drop down box within a drop down box? For instance, when a selection is made in a drop down box, it opens another drop down box with choices.And is it possible to link an inserted image from a form to open in MSPaint that when it opens, the image is already there?

I've searched the forum but haven't come across this kind of problem.
I'm creating a sale and inventory system for my mates shop. My sales form is a main for frmSalesOrders this has Order no. Date and Totals, and then I have one subform frmSalesOrdersSubform with the sales data on.
My problem is that the people using the system are used to an old system where they would skip straight to the sales data but if they do this on my form then it comes up with the error message "Index or Primary key cannot contain null value"
The three fields in my main report are automated:
SalesNumber - Autonumber
SalesDate - Will be linked by an update event
TotalValue - Sum of subform
Is there a way I can auto generate the record on the main form on entry so they can skip straight to the subform. I had two thoughts
1) some kind of code on the OnOpen event, but I couldn't come up with something that would work
2) Maybe hide the subform and have it made visible by a button on the main form and also have the update code for the date on here?
However, I'm not sure how to make either work, any ideas greatly apreciated
Thanks.
I have a small database and forms already attached to a switchboard. I just was wondering if it is even possible to open striaght to that switchboard, without the access window in the background. Even if it pops up minimized and closes when the switchboard does.
I have looked into this and it is really hard to find info on it because I am not sure how to phrase the search. Although what info I have found led me to believe it can't be done. Any info or a point in the right direction would be really appreciated.
I have a lot of reports I have created. A lot of them are the same report but with different criteria. Right now I just have a report form, which displays all of the reports with buttons and the user chooses the desired report, clicks, and bam. In an attempt to make this look nicer and cleaner, is there a way to use a couple of drop down menus to open the reports. For example, can I group them by the main report category, have a drop down, click on a desired report and it opens from there??

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have an SQL statement which is dynamically built on a form.
It can be truncated to read
[Colour] = 'Blue'
Or it can be left as a complete statement - SELECT * from tblOrders WHERE [Colour] = 'Blue'
The statements work when I open a form.
Is there a simple way to open a report (or query) with these parameters?
I want to sent out my report as a pdf file with my macro.. I've been trying to use the VBA
Code:
Option Compare Database
Sub Fix1()
DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, "MarketRiskControl_HighestDiffs_AsOfCurrentDate", "PDFFormat(*.pdf)", "my mail@mail", "cc", , "SD Counterparty Report as of Current Date", "Regards, Trading Risk Control", False

I am using access 02.
With the code below , I send the report: “ESERT4H”, in email body. How I could add yet another report on the same body of the email ?

I'm trying to automate a process of selecting a set of file/s and move them in a folder. When I click on a button, it should open a current folder that is setup in the code.
Lets say that I have a folder C:documents est, and very time I click on the button, it should open the dialog box with that path so I can select the files from another folder, drag them there and they will be saved in that folder.
This will form part of wider automation that will send an email stating that those file/s where placed in that folder.
I have in the same form where the button is placed, 3 check boxes that needs to be passed to the email as well that one or all the files where placed in the folder.
I would like to change the reports drop down.
1) Change the names of the reports
2) Add additional reports.
