Hi,
If I use Visual Studio 2005 to create a package for my clients, they can run the mdb/mde file, right.
But, if I create the shortcut to let the user to open the database with command, do they work?
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10Msaccess.exe" "E:Databasesinvoices.mdb" "cmd 12344"
If I create the package for them, do they have same path and exe file ("C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10Msaccess.exe")?
Till now I managed to publish and save all in C:Reports. What I'm trying to do is Save to path specified in Path. DB attached.
Private Sub PrintAll_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim MyPath As String
Dim MyFileName As String
[Code] ....
Hi All,
I have been trying to figure this out for ages but I cant seem to get the code right or find any info on it.
In my database i have a mail merge on a button click which creates a new merged word document. I then need a way of when the user saves the document in word, bringing back the file path and putting it in a table called tblHistory with the correct customer ID in there too.
Any help appreciated
Thanks
Alex
Hi there,
I want to link an excel sheet to my database but I dont want to link the location with a drive letter but instead linking the network address. How can this be achieved?
In addition, I want to startup application with a command line in a access macro and used this line but it doesnt work.

In general how can you work in access with network path strings?
best regards,
Paul.

I've recently created a new Access 2010 Database which I'm developing an interface for in VBA. I've created a new Userform in the Visual Studio (this required me to add the Userform button). I'm finding that when I insert the Multipage object which I need to use on the form I can no longer run the Userform. When I attempt to run, I get the error 'Path/File Access Error' followed by 'Run time error 75 - Could not find the specified object'.
It's definitely linked to the Multipage which I've inserted from the toolbox (standard object) as the form runs fine when it is not there and with other objects (have tested all other toolbox items). There is currently no code in written in the project, no tables or queries set up in the database therefore nothing is running when the form loads.
I've successfully used Multipages in a number of other VBA interfaces both in Access and Excel so not sure why they are causing a problem here. I've also just created a userform in exactly the same way in a new Excel sheet and it runs fine with the multipage.
Is it possible to permanently display the file path in Access 2003 main title bar? I.e. whatever object is open the filepath is shown.
View 1 Replies View RelatedJust wanted to confirm which is the best way to create an automatic back up of a access DB. (Split DB, backing up the BE - Access2010)
Firstly I was thinking of just creating a batch file to copy the file to a new source directly with a task scheduler set up.
Ideally I'd like it to run daily and have the date of the back up added to the end of the filepath.
All I am trying to do is import a Report from one MS Access db into another.
When I do this I get the following error:
"Path/File access error :"VB4.tmp"
Press okay and then I get this . . .
"Name conflicts with existing module, project, or object librabry.
Press okay and then I get this . . .
"No Current Record"
Any ideas??
After some help from one of the threads here I managed to install a Browse button in a form that inserts a file path to a text box. What I need is the folder path from that file path in another text box. For example if the file path is
C:Documents and SettingsmixupSketchesowl.jpg
I would like to get either
C:Documents and SettingsmixupSketches
Or,
C:Documents and SettingsmixupSketches
in my second text box.
I do not have much experience with Access; therefore please give a little detail on how to accomplish this.
Thanks.
I have a split dbase and have been running the backend on a server which was linked using a mapped network drive letter and path.
Now I'm trying to connect it to a path like this. Is it possible?
\aaat.comFoldersUS-SitesNY-JunctionPassdown-passdownfilename.xxx
Trying to get the app path of the database I have open to insert into my connection string. Currently using the following:
sPath = App.Path

Hi,
Ans1:
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10Msaccess.exe "
Ans2:
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program Files..Msaccess.exe "
The Ans1 works fine.
The Ans2 doesn't work.
I want to work the Ans2, because every user machine's Office path is different.
For example:
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10Msaccess.exe "
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice11Msaccess.exe "
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice12Msaccess.exe "
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice13Msaccess.exe "
So, I want to create the link with the target
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program Files...Msaccess.exe "
How can I do it?
Please let me know, thanks.
Hi all,
Can I set the default path for a dialog box to look in when called?
I have a button that allows a user to select a file using the windows select file dialog using the following code:
Dim fd As FileDialog
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
With fd
.Title = "Select A Text file to Import"
.Filters.Add "Text File", "*.txt"
.FilterIndex = 1
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.InitialFileName = CurrentProject.path
result = .Show
If (result <> 0) Then
Me!txt_path = Trim(.SelectedItems.Item(1))
End If
End With
Is there a way that I can capture the path of the file they select in a separate text box?
Thanks!

Anyone know how to find the path of your backend database using VBA code?
I am trying to determine whether the application is using a database via a network path.
Anyone got any ideas how to get the directory path where the database is running?
Thx in advance

I went to the Microsoft knowledge base (304408) and found a routine that automatically logs off users with a short warning. It works fine, but depends on the presence or absence of a small text file which is named chkfile.ozx. The file is referenced in a form timer function as follows:
Dim StrFilename as String
strfilename = Dir("c:MyDirectorychkfile.ozx")
The function then tests for its presence and does its thing. You trigger the logoff by going in as sysop and changing the name of the file so it is no longer found.
The problem I have is that on the network, I use the backend file on the network and different users map different letters to it. I get around this by linking using UNC eg. \ServerNameSYSData_be.mdb.
I put the chkfile.ozx into this directory since all users presumably have access to it.
I tried changing the trigger function to
strfilename = Dir("\ServerNameSYSchkfile.ozx")
but the program doesn't recognize the presence of the file. When I map it as "F:SYSchkfile.ozx" it works, but since all users will not be mapped to "F", it really isn't a solution.
Does anyone know the proper syntax to include in the Dir method for UNC naming?
Hi,
I nave a code which allows the user to upload a file to a folder "images". I want to be able to record the filename and path in a table called "attachments". But I am not sure how. Can anyone help

Dim Path As String
Pathx = Me.Application.CurrentProject.Path & "Images"
Path = Me.Application.CurrentProject.Path
Set FD = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
Dim vrtSelectedItem As Variant
With FD
.AllowMultiSelect = False
'Add a filter that includes GIF and JPEG images and make it the second item in the list.
.Filters.Add "PDF", "*.pdf, 1"
'Sets the initial file filter to number 2.
'.FilterIndex = 2
If .Show = -1 Then
For Each vrtSelectedItem In .SelectedItems
Name = Dir(vrtSelectedItem, vbSystem)
Name2 = Pathx & Name
If Name2 = vrtSelectedItem Then
Else
FileCopy vrtSelectedItem, Pathx & Name
End If
Next vrtSelectedItem
Else

I have very very basic skills in Access and have been attempting to work with a database that a previous employee from my office designed. The other day another person in my office moved the folder on our office network that contains the link to open the database and today when I entered our database and tried to click on one of the forms to enter data it is telling me that the path name for that form cannot be found. How do I edit the path name for a form?
Thanks,
