I have a form which has a links to a table of student ID's. I also have a project folder where images and documents are loaded into. These can be jpegs, bitmaps, gifs, office files (all types) etc
The files are named by the user and dropped into the folder. The name relates to the student ID. For example student: 3001 can have multiple files: 3001.jpg, 3001.doc, 3001.ppt etc.
When each record (student ID) is displayed on screen I need a list box (or something) to display the files associated with this student ID. Then, if possible, the user can double click on the file(s) to open them in the computers default program.
I'd be really grateful for any help on this one. It's got me baffled. I'm only a starter to VBA.
I have a form with several different list boxes which display the hours worked per week for an employee that the user chooses from a combo box. This all works fine, but when I tried to make a box with the sum of all the hours worked per quarter nothing happens unless I click on the list boxes that contain the numbers. When this happens i get the correct sum sometimes. Other times i get very large random numbers and other times ill get the numbers next to each other (ex. 2020 when trying to add 20 + 20). If someone could give me some suggestions on how to fix this that would be great.
Hi, my first post here. Have the following trouble: Created a table (Maintbl), use two List Boxes for two of the fields. The query for the list boxes comes from another table (Subtbl). Subtbl contains two fields: one is number and the other is a description.
In the list boxes from Maintbl, I can do so that the drop-down menu shows the two fields from Subtbl and then selects one of them fields (number of description, depending on which column I put bound). However, how can I create a query (or function, or any other method), so that when I select, say, a number in the drop-down meny in one field, the other field is filled with the description (or vise versa).
See attachement: in the field Description, the drop-down has two fields - McNair2004 and 3. I need to select McNair2004 and the number (3) is inserted into field Number.
I am trying to setup a webpage for people to update access 2000 db using FP2000 and DRW. I do not want update all fields in a record though - a couple of them are static. I have been unable to do this. I am using code lifted from another page and DB that does exactly the same thing for the update. I either get the error data type mismatch, or I should provide default values for all form related fields, or no records get updated. Is there anyone who can point me inthe right direction? Thanks, Tim
I was wondering if i could get some help here. I think this is to do with the security issue. I usually double-click to open or run an access file (for example student.mdb) that sits on the server with no problem. But this time, nothing happen when i did double-clicked on it from my laptop while the file was being open by someone'else on another computer. I know that it makes sense that we shouldn't open a file that's being used by other users. But my curiosity is that should it not give you a warning like (you know) you're not able to save any changes or things like that. No, i didnot get any of that messages. It's just nothing happen after trying to open it by double-clicking it.
I have set the macro security to low level but that did not help either. Is there any thing that i need to tweak?
Ok this is a weird issue that has been troubling me, On some computers that I have, Access refuses to open databases through a shortcut. The only way to open any databases is to first open access the go to file open.
I've tried creating new shortcuts, as well as mapping a drive and making a shortcut from there...but nothing is working. Is there a setting that access has to preven this? The same database can be opened on different computer without a hitch....
I have a form whose fields are calculated based off VBA code, including fuctions, SQL, etc. Because of the nature of my form, I cannot save the calculations to a table before exporting to and excel spreadsheet.
When I use the File>Export feature of Access and save to and Excel format, I am not able to change the format of my numbers in Excel. For example, I have tried to highlight some of my exported numbers, right-click, and change the format to currency in Excel (or even decimal places). In order for excel to change the format, I have to select the cell, place my cursor in the edit window, and hit enter.....then the format will change.....is there any way to avoid this?
Please let me know if this isn't clear, and I'll attempt to explain it better.
I'm trying to import about 18 excel spreadsheets into one database in Access. I've been using "get external data" to import the spreadsheets as tables, and the first 8 of them worked fine, but now I cannot import any more excel files. The only error message I'm getting is "An error occurred trying to import file 'C:....xls' The file was not imported." And this error pops up after I have gone through all of the importing steps. Did I exhaust Access's resources? It's not a format issue, and I've restarted, etc. I'm at a loss.
I am trying to clean up one field of a large database. Currently this field has many records that are listed as "XXXX, Inc.". I am trying to find a way to change all of those to "XXXX Inc" in the entire database.
I saw raskews code snippet on changing multiple characters in a string, but I have to admit I have only use VBA in Excel before and having a hard time with the basics.
Does anyone have some code or ideas on how to do this or something similar? :confused:
Edit:I just realised i had accidently writted the title as (to do with importing access data) it should read (to do with importing excel data)This is going to be a trick hard to understand question but I will try my best to explain itI have a database set out in the following wayhttp://img524.imageshack.us/img524/1350/databasetableli1.pngThe way it works is; Let's pretend Access Programmers is a company and working on different forums is a different jobSo on one record it would readJames.90| Access Programmers|Tables Forum| Wed=3= Mon=2Then the record below might readJames.90| Access programmers | Forms Forum| mon=5 tue=6So each record is one unique company,Project and CTR which the person has worked for that week meaning if you only work on one forum you would only write one record out each weekNow the data i am receiving is in an excel file where it's set out in a daily basis Where One Day Date|Name|Company|CTR|etcSo if a person works 5 days a week on 2 companies each day that is 10 records when it should only be 2 recordsSo to sum it up. My database is set out weekly and the excel data is set out dailyMy questionWhat would be the best way to convert this data into the database. Changing the database structure around is not an option and i can't change the format we recieve the excel data in. I can change it once i have the file thorough a converter but i can't change the raw source of the dataWhat would be a way to solve this problem because i am completly stummted and am open to any option of converting or anythingThankyou for your time. Also if you have trouble understanding what i mean Please say so and i will upload a copy of the database and a copy of the excel sheet!
Hello, I have getting type conversion errors for numeric and currency fields when importing an Ecxel spreadsheet into a Table in Access. I have tried changing the data type to text in Excel, and that is what it says I have done when I examine the field formats in question. How can I force this to be text, it keeps reverting, i.e. the fields in question, to numeric and currency. Can anyone help? Thank you. Joe
I often create contract using mail merge. I have an access file that I want to use as data source for word file. But it does not automatically.
Please download the attached file !
If there are 1 customer and 1 property, I do not need to do anything. Conversely, if there are many customers and many properties, I take time to manipulate.
Firstly, I open the word file. I have to copy and paste paragraphs that I want. Highlight of the original paragraphs is blue.
Secondly, I click 'Insert Word Field' -> select 'Next Record'.
In short, I wish to use VBA in access file to automatically perform the steps that I have outlined.
I have a button in the form of the current access file. What I want to do is when the user click on the button, triggered the vba to backup current access file. But since the file is currently open, is this possible? If yes, may I know how to do it with vba?
I have tried two methods but failed: 1) Use copytofile method, but I get permission denied due to file open; 2) Use dbengine.compactdatabase method, but it also has problem if the file is open.
I'm experimenting with MS Access, and I've successfully split an MDB someone created into two files. I can access the database from 2 computers at once using the front end file connecting to a file server which hosts the _be.mdb file.
Could the _be.mdb file theoretically be on a NAS without any computer attached, or is there some runtime or full version of Access that needs to run on the machine with the back end file?
I have a spread sheet which on a per line basis contains columns whose cells contain the path to a file. It looks as if many of the files are tif, pdf, word and excel etc, so multiple file types.
Writing a routine which would take each row and then for each line of file paths turn them into one multi-page document - pdf or something?
Inside you can find one form with listbox (with multi selecting ability).
I use this code :
Dim strSQL As String Dim i As Variant With Me.se1 For Each i In .ItemsSelected SQL = "DELETE '*' FROM [t1] WHERE [id] = " & .ItemData(i) & " ;" CurrentDb.Execute (SQL) Next End With Me.se1.Requery
Result is this one : 1) If I delete only one item in list, it is ok. I can do it again and again and it is working fine.
BUT
2) If I delete more items in list at once, it is ok - but if I will try to do it again then there is an error because .ItemData(i) value is Null.

I have a program that runs under access 2007 that I use at my work. We will soon be updating to MS office 2010 and the program will not work now because a calender file .ocx was removed from access 2010. Is there a way to get the 2007 .ocx file to work in access 2010?The program I am using is a relatively simple stand-alone and unsupported app that we use to request patient arrival and departure from various radiology tests inside a hospital. No reports are made from the app other than the number of patient transports for the day.
The app is placed on a common drive accessed from any pc in the hospital. No special permissions are required. But our app does use the calendar, time and date functions in access 2007. When I tried the app on a pc with access 2010, it basically says it (access) cannot open the app because a .ocx file is not present.Is there a way to make the access 2010 calendar file work in access 2007?

I have a drop down list in a table with name and commission rate. When I choose the name it displays but I want both the name and the commission rate to display in my table. I want to use a data entry form to enter values in the table and I want the same in the form too (when I choose a name I want the corresponding commission rate to show up).
