I have set up an access database and want to collect data using the e-mail feature. I can use the feature but the form it sends to fill out is very basic and not that user friendly. I want to put in directions to the form, is there a way to change the style of the form?
View RepliesCompleting the html wizard for Access Data Collection by e-mail is straightforward enough but I need to change the instructions underneath each of the data fields prior to sending out the e-mail, to ensure (so far as possible) that the forms are completed with the correct information - which, regrettably is not always proving to be the case.
I did this some time back with another e-mail ADC form I completed but for the life of me cannot remember how!!
If I send an HTML message to an individual and they reply back on Monday, can they still reply again on Tuesday to the same message and again on Wednesday, so on and so forth? Will this be adding multiple records to the table?
Also, please consider the same situtation for an InfoPath email. Thanks.

Does anyone know of a way to trigger a function in Access when a specific email is received in Outlook?
Thank you for reading this question and for those that reply, thank you for your time and knowledge.
I have a master/child forms. in master form sale_id,collection notes are placed. and in child form all collection details like collectionnumber,date,etc., child form look like datasheet view.
When i select the record from the list depending on the sale_id all the collection records shown in datasheet view form. If no record is there ok. if more than one records are there in collections of sale_id.i need count of records in collection depending on sale_id and also if i select one row in collection, notes to be shown for that record when i clik on shownotes button.
If more than one record in collection automatically it increment. how many collections for the sale_id. collection number would be increment. How and also show notes depending on collection number and sale_id.
My company recently upgraded our MS Office from 2007 to 2010 (except for Access).
Previously, when I had Access 2007 and Outlook 2007, I had a process that generated 50+ dynamic emails from an Outlook template file (.oft).
The code would loop through a listbox and replace the template's default text to a string of text specific to the selection in the listbox by utilizing the Replace() function on the MailItem .HTMLBody.
Since the upgrade to Outlook 2010, the code is able to run, however, the Replace() function is no longer working; Instead, each email that is generated maintains the template's default text.
The only thing that is not working is the Replace() function, all other aspects of the code work fine.
I've provided a simplified version of the code below:
Dim myOlApp As Outlook.Application
Dim objMailMessage As MailItem
Dim stBody As String
Set myOlApp = Outlook.Application
Set objMailMessage = myOlApp.CreateItemFromTemplate("C:UsersDesktop emplate.oft")
[Code] .....
I've recreated the template file in Outlook 2010, thinking that the template created with Outlook 2007 would be the culprit, but to no avail.
What could have changed from Outlook 2007 to Outlook 2010 that would render my previously valid code ineffective?
Are there certain references I need to enable in both Access and Outlook to allow VBA in Access modify the content in an Outlook email?
I'm sorry if this isn't the correct forum to be posting in, but I wasn't sure where "I'm very familiar with Access, but I need to do X and I'm not even sure where to begin"-questions go.
I need to create a database that collects monthly metrics for an entire team.
So I setup tables
met_Metrics
Metric_ID
Metric
Assigned_ID
Reviewer
Reviewer_ID
Reviewer
met_Month
Month_ID
Month (formatted MMMM YYYY)
Metric_ID
I've sat and stared at this for far too long and I'm no closer. Each Metric will be assigned to a Reviewer. They will be responsible for entering the data for each Metric assigned only to them on a monthly basis.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I want to use Access to collect data for our research department. I have created a number of forms to assist the department in collecting data. I created a query with all the fields from the relevant tables to be used to collect the data. I used the option Collect and Update data via email to generate the form for collecting the data and emailed the form to myself for testing (gmail account), however, I cannot edit any of the fields.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table that is populated everyday, with following columns:
1. ward (linked to the wards table)
2. date
3. number of patients
We have a total of 18 wards, wherein the daily number of patient in each ward should be recorded. The problem we face is that we find it counter-productive if the data encoder selects a specific ward (dropdown list), then puts the number of patients, and then moves to another field repeating the process. (the date is pre-selected using a combo-box and this will fill the date fields, thus the encoder selects the date only once).
I was wondering if there is a way where we can just automatically show all the wards, so that the data encoder would just proceed on putting the figures.
Is there a good way to let Access be the database for collections of files and folders (on a Windows PC) that would organize projects and give information about the files. When I say information I mean description, progress(check in & check out duration of work, and timers), and location. I think this would work with organizing our projects and knowing what file is the current one we should be working on when we have many. A while ago I was working in FileMaker and noticed that one of there template options said "Collection of Files".
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form that collects data from a survey. The survey has been undertaken before and the equipment being surveyed may carry an ID number and I have the original survey data in a table. If the old survey ID is entered into a field it automatically populates several other fields with the original data....neat!
But that data is not necessarily correct and for this survey I am going to great lengths to ensure the data is as "normalized" as possible so the data is prepopulated into a field with validation. Normally when something is entered into these combo fields I validate with a not in list event and ask if the entry should be added. If I prepopulate with a me.xxxxxx = oldsurveydata the entry is accepted without question. Is there some way to fire the not in list event? I've tried me.repaint, requery etc. but no success.
I have a need to convert the export of an Access report to an ASCII file.
The export needs to have a specific format - described below:
Field Position | Field Length | Field Name | Field format
1-6 | 6 | Member # | text - right justified
7-12 | 6 | Trans Date | YYMMDD
13-15 | 3 | Pay code | Alpha/ NUM - Left
16-26 | 11 | Amount | -9999999.99 (*)
64-71 | 8 | Check # | Right
general comments and questions:
This report needs to interface with some sort of transaction accounting system - No Idea what it is, but this format of the report will interface.
The field positions go from 1 to 73. I need only supply the data above, so the check # is way out of sequence. Do I need to have the space inbetween "Amount" and Check Number in the report? Will a simple text file work with all the fieds together? or will I need the space in there? Is there a way to design a report in an ASCII format in access?
Specific Questions
I think I need to change the format of the amount and date fields. I am currently using the short date format 8/30/04, but need to return the date as YYMMDD - 040830. How can I change this format to reflect the ASCII format. The form is also set with the default "=Date()" so the user doesn't have to enter the date everytime - it can also be edited for older data. I would like the date to appear the way it is on the form 08/30/04 but get entered to the table as 040830. Is there a way to do that?
The amount field is odd - I'll include the exact criteria that is desired:
"All Amount Fields must be right justified and space filled. If the amount is a credit, show the "-" sign at the beginning of the number. Payment should be entered as positive amounts. If zero, assign the fied as 0.00 (space filled)"
Is this just a mask that needs to be added? Currently, The field shows $7.00 when 7 is entered to add cent, you must type in 7.50, tab will put in the "$". I need to get rid of the $ and space fill the field?
Any help would be great

This works well enough, however, FIELDS 11 through to 16 contain the venue address. This is all we ll and good if every field of the venue address is populated. here are times when not all of the fields are populated, for instance, the address might only be 5 lines.I know I can do this using IIf statements on a report, but how can i achieve the same thing for the email.
I’m having problems trying to construct a database for my company. They need the database to enter information about certain insurance policies that our company has. We have a table setup and ready to go. I need to allow multiple users to add records to the database so I want to setup a Data Access Page to accomplish this. However, there’s a problem I’m still stuck on.
In the Data Access Page, I need the ability to search and display a record designated by the primary key field (policy number). I found code to do this, however when I click the button, input a known policy number at the prompt, and click ok, it displays Error: 3265 the item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal.

I have a table in Access 2010 and in one field i have multiple records of the same data as in the next field it has unique data for example:
NameColour
CarBlue
CarGreen
CarYellow
BusOrange
BusPurple
BusRed
I am trying to run a query which will effectively group up the "Name" field and combine the "colour" field against the name using a ";". so it would look like this:
NameColour
CarBlue;Green;Yellow
How i would do this.

Hi Guys,
My first post. Can you help me?
I want to loop through all the fields in all the tables and find any fields with a value of "UPGRADE" The code below takes me part way there because tdf.Name gives me the database name and fld.Name gives me the field name. What I am having problems with is referencing the fields value with fld.Value. How do I dynamicaly reference the value of the field.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Steve Wilson.
My Code:
Dim StringValue As String
Dim db As Database
Dim tdf As TableDef
Dim fld As Field
Set db = DBEngine(0)(0)
For Each tdf In db.TableDefs
If Left(tdf.Name, 4) <> "MSys" Then
Debug.Print "** " & tdf.Name
For Each fld In tdf.Fields
Debug.Print fld.Name & "+++ " & fld.Value
If InStr(1, fld.Value, "UPGRADE") Then
MsgBox (" Value = " & fld.Value & " Table = " & tdf.Name)
End If
Next fld
End If
Next tdf
Hi,
I'm fairly new to Access and was wondering if it's possible to create a database that finds MP3's in a given folder and reads the ID3 details to create records, to save entering all the song details manually?
Cheers
Scenario:
I have a form that allows the user to enter various parameters to build a dynamic query behind the scenes. There are 'flavors' to this query process. I have a combo box from which the user selects the query type, and then I want only the proper controls to display to support the query the user chose. I have attempted this using the following code:
Code:Dim ctrl as Control Select Case mdc_cboSelectChgType.ValueCase 1 'Cust Dist - AddFor Each ctrl In Me.ControlsIf InStr(ctrl.Tag, "mdc_ca") Thenctrl.VisibleEnd IfNext ctrlCase 2 'Cust Dist - Modify Case 3 'Cust Dist - Delete Case 4 'Pending Dist - Add Case 5 'Pending Dist - Modify Case 6 'Pending Dist - DeleteEnd Select
Each Case statement would be built out similar to that in Case 1. I use distinct values in the control's Tag property to determine which controls to perform the operations on.
The problem is, however, that the ctrl.Visible throws an error: Object doesn't support this property or method.
Any suggestions for how to get around this? I'm stumped...I really thought this was going to work well....
Thanks!
John
I'm probably trying to be too clever here, but I have an update process that uses many queries to update the various tables in the project.
In general, these queries must be run in the correct sequence. So I name them "update 01 chg Field1" "update 02 get Field2-3 from table2" ... "update 15 make summary table".... etc...
In VBA, I then run 'docmd.openquery ...' for each query in the list.
But as the project evolves, I have to change the query sequence, or rename the descriptive part of the name. I then have to go in to the code and change the sequence/correct the names for each.
I had this "Better Idea":
for each qrydef in db.querydefs
' only run if name starts in update
if mid$(qrydef.name,1,6)="update" then
docmd.openquery grydef.name
' log that the query ran, etc...
end if
next
This seems to work wonderfully! The qrydef are coming out in alphabetical order, which is what I want, but I can't find anywhere in the docs that says that they HAVE to come out in alphabetical order. Nothing that says they will and nothing that says they may not.
I've tested creating the queries in arbitrary sequence, or renaming the queries, and so far they are always in alphabetical sequence.
SO, is what I am doing safe? Will querydefs always return the queries in alphabetical sequence, or am I likely to have a nasty data destroying missequence at some time in the future?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David
I have 17 textboxes in my form and I want to make them disabled on a click of a button. But all this will take a lot of code writing, 17 names.enabled=false....
Is there a way to make a collection of all the 17 textboxes, like "controlsTEXT" in which I can add all of them at once and can disable all of them just by one statement like this...
controlsTEXT.enabled=false
Is this possible? or is there an alternative??
