Attaching Files Of Different Types To Table Field Thru VBA
Apr 23, 2007
Hi Everyone,
I have a PO table. Each PO has 3 documents of multiple types (one may be Word, other may be Excel, Acrobat). When I display the PO, the attachments should be shown as Icons, which when double-clicked, will open in its own Application.
I have a pop-up screen where I enter new PO details. In this screen, I have Attach/Detach buttons for each of the Documents.
My Requirement:
When I press 'ATTACH' of Doc1, the File Selection screen should be displayed from where the user will select the file to be attached. This file should be updated into the table field "doc1".
When I press 'DETACH' of Doc1, the file in table field "doc1" must be cleared.
How can I achieve this???:mad:

This might be impossible, but I was wondering if there was a way to attach files to records on a form. I work for a marketing company and I have built a contact management database and I need to attach files such as letters and emails to records on a form. I also would like a list of files attached to that record to display also. I don't know if this makes sense or if it is possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to work out how to attach a word doc to the attachment field of a table when I add a new Record. The following code work's fine if I add it to the On Load Event on the Form, but the doc is attach'd to the first record. When I add the code to the Add New Record button, I get the error msg: "File already part of the Multi-Valued Field" and nothing in the attachment field.
Code:
Private Sub Add_Record_Click()
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Me.Description.SetFocus
On Error GoTo Err_AddImage
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rsParent As DAO.Recordset2
Dim rsChild As DAO.Recordset2
[Code]...

I am building a table where one of the fields is a yes/no field type. When the yes box is selected, I need to "jump" to a different set of field names than field names for selecting no. I have researched on internet and have done some reading but have found no information. Is it possible to do what I want to do in Access? My skill level is that I can build tables, create forms, create reports and run simple queries. Any help offered is appreciated.

I have a database for recording jobs and invoices for our transport company. I was thinking of adding an "Attachment" type field to my invoice table to store pdf's of scanned copies of the delivery notes relating to the invoice. How this will affect the performance of the database? Will adding this field greatly increase the size of the database and slow the whole database down?

For reasons I need not get into as it generally proves to be a distraction, I need to document the relationships in databases.
I've been playing around with .Relations with some success.
I can easily get the relationship's name, Table Name, Table Field, and ForeignTable.
Code:
For i = 0 To objDestDB.Relations.Count - 1
With rsMigrateRels
.AddNew
!RelNumber = i
!RelAttributes = objDestDB.Relations(i).Attributes
!RelFields = objDestDB.Relations(i).Fields.Count
!RelFieldsName = objDestDB.Relations(i).Fields(0).Name
!RelForeignTable = objDestDB.Relations(i).ForeignTable
!RelName = objDestDB.Relations(i).Name
!RelPartialReplica = objDestDB.Relations(i).PartialReplica
!RelProperties = objDestDB.Relations(i).Properties.Count
!RelTable = objDestDB.Relations(i).Table
.Update
End With
Next i
However, despite lots of digging into the other properties and attributes associated here, I cannot yet figure out how or where to get the:
ForeignTable field
The type of relationship (1:1,1:many,many:many)

I am needing to link two tables but one field is in a "May 2012" format while the other table is in a "053112" format.. Is there a way beyond creating a formula to change "053112" into "May 2012"??

Hi,
I am designing a database.
It is going to store data from questionnaires.
The natural way seems to be to have a table - that stores where the data comes from, what is it about, what is the question and what is the answer, like this:
DataProviderID; FocusID; QuestionID; AnswerValue
My problem is that a Focus could be a eg. a Person, a Company or a Job - meaning that somebody may be giving info on an other person, on a Company or on a Job.
Now Persons, Companies and Jobs would have very different properties.
So how should I solve this shold I have a common table for Peoples, Companies and Jobs and use a very complicated structure of properties for them or should I store these entities in separate tables but than how will I store the results?
Thanks for your thoughts.

Hello everyone
I am in need of assistance with Microsoft Access. In the reporting function of Access I am trying to have a summarization total of indirect time and direct time based off a Auditor Timesheet form developed. On the report I am able to see both the direct time and the indirect time hours seperate per auditor based on the query that is run to seperate direct and indirect hours and each individual auditor stats.
but the problem I am having is trying to summarize on the report the total direct and indirect hours as a whole.
Please let me know if this a simple solution by building an expression in the field for the report or some type of VBA code input which would suffice?
Thank you

I am trying to create a query based on a transaction table which compares the time between two types of transactions.
The initial record would have "A' in the type field and the second record would have "D" in the type field.
each pair of A and D records would be matched on o_time and idnum fields, and I would want to pull each pair and us the datediff function on c_time, using records marked with A as the initial time and records marked with D as the followup time.
Is there any way to accomplish this in a single query or do I need to create two subqueries?

Looking for a way to use transfertext to make a table and create a spec file from csv files I am importing. I want all fields in the table to be shorttext.
Otherwise I need another way to bring the files into a table.
I have a generic spec to use that brings in any data as text.
Created the spec from a delimited file with 255 text fields... Field001, Field002, etc.
However the field names need to be changed. My field names are in the first row of a table. I will need to read each fields data in the first row and rename the field.

We have been using an Access (Access 2013) program where we link the program to dataviews created in sql server.
Recently we had to re-link the data views because a change had been made to them. When we relinked the data we noticed that the field type for the field used as the primary key changed from "Short Text" to "Long Text". The programmer who created the dataview from sql server said that nothing was done at that end that would have caused the change
I know how to prevent the problem from recurring. We are changing the sql server spec from VARCHAR(8000) to CHAR(20).

I have a query which is my list of orders. Now I want to create other type of orders. New types don't use the code in red (tbl Offset and tblRodzajZlecenia). Is it possible to modify the query, in order to keep new types too?
New types of orders are in the same tables. But if I don't fill fields in tblOffset then query can't show new type of oder - that's the problem.
Code:
SELECT z.ID_Zlecenia AS ID, tblRodzajPracy.RodzajPracy AS [Rodzaj pracy], tblRodzajZlecenia.RodzajZlecenia AS [Rodzaj zlecenia], z.NazwaZlecenia AS [Nazwa Zlecenia], k.NazwaSkrocona AS Klient, z.DataPrzyjecia AS [Data Przyjęcia], z.TerminOdbioru AS Termin, tblStatus.Status, tblStatus.lp
FROM (tblKlienci AS k INNER JOIN ((tblStatus INNER JOIN tblZlecenia AS z ON tblStatus.Id_Status = z.Status)
[Code] .....

This the first time I post in this forum and I tried looking for an answer to my question before posting, so I apologize if my question has been answered previously.
Is it possible to determine, in Access 2000, the data type in a Make-Table query of a new column with null value so that it does not default to binary.
Here is my sample sql:
SELECT tblAddressBook.Name, Null AS Email INTO tblTestTable
FROM tblAddressBook;
The output is tblTestTable with two columns: Name and Email. The data type of column Email defaults to Binary. How do I make it default to Text.
Thank you.

I'm creating a simple db on shared network drive and I need to upload or attach documents into it. Mainly PDF but may need to add .doc or .xls. I cannot use hyperlink since I cannot store the files where they are easily accessed due to security issues. So my only recourse was to create a secured db. Size is not an issue due to limited use. How do I do this?
Thanks

I've built a database to attach pictures of people to their records. In the table it's designed as an "OLE Object". When you goto the form you can click on the box, tell it to insert object, find the file, and the picture can be displayed to the record.
I've since learned that this process inflates the database and with the recent update changes from Microsoft (removing Photo Editor) I'm trying to learn to create databases to insert pictures having the same result but won't inflat the database.
I've learned of a view method to insert pictures that are a little more complicated to create using coding. My problem with this method is you would have to type in the file location manually to get the picture to attach. I'm working in a location that needs this process to be simpler then that. I need to find a way to browse for that picture instead of having to type in the file location manually.
HELP!

Hi, I'm not even sure how to describe my problem in the proper terms in order to look it up in any faq or tutorial.
I have one table, customers. Their name, number, etc.
Another table, products: Name, id, department, etc.
And the final table being orders. Customer bought product when, etc.
However, I'm only able to attach one product to each customer per order. I need to be able to attach any number of products, and I don't know how to go about doing that.
Also, when I create a form for entering all the data to these tables, the information doesn't stick. I create a form using the order table, enter the order and customer information, and have the products as a subform. The information will stick for each table, but they won't connect to each other.
If that makes any sense...
Any pointers would be great thanks, I don't even know where to start.

Hi,
Probably an easy one, but I'm stuck!
I'm dealing with quite a complex database and trying to make use of many subforms to minimize data entry and errors. I only want certain subforms to be visible through the use of a button, since for many records, the subform will not be needed. Upon clicking the button, I would like the subform to appear and related fields to be populated. I am already aware of how to attach buttons to open a form, however, I need the related field (child field) of the subform to be populated upon opening the form and this does not seem possible merely through opening a form by way of a button.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm currently at a a standstill.

A have a table with many records and each record has a hyperlink to a document. Based on some criteria i want to attach the hyperlink file to an email. Don't want to have to do this manually. Is there anyway i can write code to go and get the hyperlink file and then attach the physical file into the email? This could result in 1 file being attached, 13 files being attached, 0 files etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Combsie.
