Hi there,
I am not the best in Access, I will admit. But need a function to open up a MS Outlook template (.oft file) within Access which is hosted on an internal server. Anyone help with quick steps on how to do this, It would be greatly apprciated.
Am working in MS Access 2013 and I have a form with a button, I need the button to doattach automatically the pdf-report to the email template(i don't want to attach the pdf to a new email)
Right now the command open the E-mail template and create the pdf-report in the desktop
Code:
Private Sub Command18_Click()
Dim oApp As Outlook.Application
Dim oMsg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim oAttachment As Outlook.attachment
Set oApp = New Outlook.Application
[Code] .....
I have the code below which takes information from a form on access and sends it over to the correct place on an excel spreadsheet template. This works fine but I then need it to save and send on outlook.
The issue I am having is that the saved document is not attaching to the e-mail. The subject etc all work fine but the excel spreadsheet just doesn't attach. When I go into the folder I have specified for the document to be saved in it isn't there either. :0(
The code for the e-mail "callmail" function works perfectly for word documents but I don't know if it is different for an excel file.
Code:
Private Sub Command154_Click()
On Error Resume Next
Dim appExcel As Excel.Application
Dim wbook As Excel.Workbook
Dim wsheet As Excel.Worksheet
Set appExcel = New Excel.Application
[Code] .....
I have an MS-SQL backend which i use for my data source. I then use Access for reporting services. (It works so much better than SQL Reporting Services 2005).
this seems simple, but i can't get it to work. Everytime the users start up access, It pops up a login and password for the ODBC link. Even when i have the password and login setup in the ODBC DSN, it still requests it everytime you start connecting to the datasource.
Is there anyway to somehow hard code this into the Access front end somehow so i don't have to give the password to the users?
I have an access database with MP3 music stored in it.
This works file in access if I double click the access cell the the tune O want to here it works, so it looks like I can store MP3 sounds in an access database.
Not I have it in the database how can I extract it in ASP so the my new web-page will play the tune when the item is double clicked?
To play MP3 hard coded I put an embed this works with a file-name "mytune.mp3" but I want get those on the d/b.
I made this ASP:
[code]<p><%=RS("Tunename")%> <br>
<embed src= "<%=RS("MUSIC")%>"
width="252" height="36"></embed></p>
where Music is the name of the cell containing the MP3 file.
This gave me:
[code]<p>mytune <br>
<embed src= "?$" width="252" height="36"></embed></p>
Any ideas what I need to do to get this to play?

Hello All,
I thought i would ask this question an how to import data from excel into access.
I am using sage to invoice clients and i can output this in to excel format then i would like the best and simplest way to pull the data though into access.
The data file has column headings at the first row ie A1 though to J1 and after this is the data, i have a table setup with the relivent table names, I had thought how easy this would be, but as always this was not the case.
The outputed excel sheet will vary in location so i think i need a diolog box to select the file and then some how link it to extract the data, is this right and if so how can it be achived.
Any thoughts
Alastair
UPDATE
**************************************Resolved Thanks to Pat Hartman *************************

any idears how to automate this process would be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance john

I am using a template that I downloaded off of MicrosoftOffice.com. I really like the setup but I need to make a few modifications to it, but the modifications I want to make I can not do due to it being a web-based(I think). I am a newbie to access and I am slowly learning about macros, vba codes, formatting, and what not.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHello, I am here back in the forum because would like some help to define a code.
Meloncolly has already helped me but I think that I have mixed up two pieces of code and cannot find the solution.
I need to export my access data to a document in excel.
I will select the recorset of the data to export, using a combo box on a form named MENU.
The excel file is a template named MASTER. Before the recorset is copied, I need to make a copy of the template via code. The copy will be the document into which copy the data. Once the data is copies, I would like an input box asking users if they would like to save the new excel file and be able to name it with the name they will type in the input box.
My last problem is that the database is used by 20 users and what happens if are all exporting to the template? Will this automatically name itselft, MASTER1, MASTER 2, etc?
This is the code that I am using and tried to put together. It does copy the data into master 1 but leaves the template opened. It also tells me that there is something missing.

What I have now is an excel template (with ~12 worksheets) that many regional offices use to enter in some lease data, from which the excel sheet creates a rental schedule and does a whole ton of calculations on that data. Some are NPV calculations, some are yields etc etc.Eventually, I would like to:
1) Enable users to fill out one of these templates, and save the data to the database (Just the inputs? All the data? My reading suggests just the inputs)
2) Use the database to produce one of these templates for any lease in our system (shouldn't be hard, from what I've read)
3) Sum up calculations from this template for many records (eg. if a tenant has many leases, what is the NPV of all of those leases, or what is the total NPV for all tenants)
I have the inputs (from Access) I will have no problem using them in the excel version, but does it make sense to use Access given that I may need to somehow be switching back and forth to get the info I want for my various reports? I am very comfortable writing macros in VBA for excel, so if that's the solution, that is no problem. I assume what I need for #1 and #2 is a macro to arrange the inputs from the excel sheet into a format that can easily be dropped into access tables and vice versa.
I am creating a db for my work place that records incidents that take place. I am a novice at Access but I have made different tables, queries, forms and reports and they all work.
I was wondering if there was a way to extract data that a user enters into a form and then use that to populate a word template *without* coding using VBA? I am really a beginner and not confident with VBA at all. I have read the forum and that seems to be an option (but would rather something else if possible!)
I'm using access 2013 and I like the inventory desktop template but cannot find out how to edit categories, or location.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThere are those builtin bmp images in access e.g. delete, edit, select, filter, etc etc. I am trying to access the location of these small bitmap images and use them for a web application i am creating. Do you know where they are located? I am searched with no luck.
Someone also sent me an access db, i'd like to reuse the buttons (same bitmap images: edit, delete) from this access db. Where do i go to extract the images?
I'm doing a project for my work. I created a few reports in Access. Some of these reports are simple graphic bars. How can I insert these reports into a word document template?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI used the Contacts Database Template to import a comma delimited txt file of contacts data. The template included a number of tables, queries, forms & reports which I did not require. I deleted them leaving only a Table entitled 'Addressbk'. I added an Entry Form using the standard access tools and this works fine with the table. However, on running the access database I get the following error message; 'The form named "Main" is mis-spelled or refers to a form that doesn't exist. My only form is labelled 'Entry Form', so it would appear that one of the forms I deleted must have been named 'Main'. If one ignores the error message the database & entry form function perfectly.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow much formatting can be done to a report from Access into Excel? I am trying to (or will be in the next day or so) to create a report to export data and I would like it presented in a specific format. This is hopefully to replace a spreadsheet where someone currently has to collate and re-type a load of info that has already been typed into various other spreadsheets.
Access is going to happily cope with all of those users entering their data to a table, and I would like to be able to output that data to something similar to the end result now? Is there a way to have an Excel template file and simply direct Access what to put in which cell?
We're running an Access 2010 web database.
As expected when we published to Sharepoint additional fields were added to the Access tables [App Created By] and [App Modified by]. We want to use these fields for Audit information however they are always empty. How should they be populated?
I am trying to use the template provided in the Access database wizards, pages and projects. Its called Order Entry. What i would like to do is edit the template to fit my needs but i need to change the Product ID feild from Autonumber to a product id of my own. I would however like to keep it as the Key.
Any Suggestions?

How to open a pre filled excel template in read and write mode from msaccess vba and insert data from msaccess tables into specific columns in excel.
Rename the tabs in excel sheet based on a specific column in the access data.
Each row in the table will go to a seperate tab in excel.
Save the excel template after populating the necessary data into different tabs.
Hi All,
Apologies if this question has already been asked. Im a bit of a newb when it comes to Access. I was wondering if its possible to create a input form/email in Access/Outlook in which I can send to a number of people via email that populate a Access database/xls when they reply?
Extra Info:
-Users may have a different version of office that I have.
-I have office 97, 2000 and 2003.
Hope that all makes sense.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to link access to outlook so that access can send out reminders through outlook to people regarding different information??

Hi
I wonder if someone could give me some advice.
I can create simple databases with Access but I've recently identified the need to create something a little more complex. My entire relational database revolves around a central table of contacts.
I have a list of contacts in MS Outlook (searchable by name, phone number, etc.), which should be the same. I want to avoid the risk of data redundancy so I was wondering if it is possible to link Outlook and Access databases in some way, so that, for example, if I was to add a contact in Outlook, it would update my database automatically and vice versa.
I'm sure this is far from simple but I'd love to hear any suggestions you may have.
Many thanks in advance
Gavin
