I'm trying to run a make table query, and I'd like to automate it. Is there any way I can do this through a script so that I don't have to answer Yes/No to any of the pop ups? I turned off the notifications, but I still get the odd pop up.
View RepliesHello All,
I am new here and new to Access.
I have created a query which allows me to schedule daily events. But I want to automate this. Let me explain what i am trying to do.
Every morning at 7 am I want this query to run and the output of which to be mailed to myself. All this without me having to hit any button of sorts.
I have a long shot but very inefficient answer to this - which would be - having to leave my MS ACCESS running all night with an infinite loop checking to see what the system time is. When the infinite loop equates to 7 am it runs the query. But I think this would be a massive memory guzzler and I don't like this solution. Is there something else I can do?
Thanks for you time.
Regards

Hi,
After much frustration and hair pulling I have managed to get the code below to work.. It prints out reports from access one at a time cycling through the list of schools in our county. My question is that I would like to save each report with a filename eg KS1_3000_version1.pdf where 3000 is the unique school ID.
So my question is how can I get the code/acrobat to save my file in a desired location with a pre-specified filename?
this would make the whole process a real click of a button! I know it is possible because we have a national database that does the same thing.. but I cannot crack the backend to see the code
bah!
thanks in advance

the pieces of the puzzle are coming together, I am near completion of my database now...but have 1 or 2 more final questions!
Can today's date in the YYMMDD format be automatically entered in a table's column when I import a .csv file into access?? - this would obviously change daily and as such the table would need to be updated with the YYMMDD date when I carry out the daily import of the .csv file .
it will need to be fixed length of 6 characters so I can create my exported file.
Thanks again for any help! I have not been using Access for too long, but with the support from these forums, I am developing a greater understanding every passing minute! :)

Hi All. I hope this is in the right forum.
This is an example of the sort of thing that I am trying to acheive.
I am building a database to connect rooms. i.e (Building1, Floor1, Room1) connected to (Building2, Floor2, Room2)
I have 2 forms (frmBuilding) to add building names and (frmFloor) to add floor numbers.
On the other form (frmConnect) , I have the current location (Building and Floor) and I have a subform in datasheet view. I have 2 combo box's (both with a query as the source), one to pick a building I added in frm building, and the other to pick a floor I added in frmfloor. I also have a text box, where I add the room number.
This is would like to do if possible.
Try and automate the adding of records, so, for example, if I am adding records of (Building1, Floor1, Room1), (Building1, Floor1, Room2), (Building1, Floor1, Room3) to the subform, it will ask me how many rooms I want to connect, in this case 3, and then add them, keeping the building and floor numbers the same.
(I think I am explaining this more complicated than it is, sorry!!)
Can someone point me in the right direction? I have been playing about with queries.....is this correct?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks.
Frank.
Hello,
I have a table which identifies my database users with the following fields:
INITIALS
USER
TITLE
I than have another table named MASTER with two fields named USER and TITLE. The field user, get it's data from the first table INITIALS. I would like that the field TITLE would be updated with the users TITLE once it is entered.
I know how to do this with a form (I place in a txt box =[USER].[Column](2) but have noticed that it only displays the info but not actually stores it into the field.
Is there a way I can do this directly from the table so that I can remove the TITLE control from my form? Thanks.
I have set up a process to automatically email reports from MS Access 2006. Everything would would perfectly except that when the process runs, a messagbox pops up stating that 'an unknown prgram is trying to send an email on your behalf'. Before the email is sent you have to click on the button to allow sending. I need this program to run very early in the morning when no one is around to click the button.
I have tried several things to get a round this by digitally signing my Access project and setting up certificates in outlook but nothing has worked.
Is there any way around this without lowering my security level, my antivirus or antispyware software?
Thanks

Hello, I have been learning how to use Ms Access in order to design my own Database, I have done quiet a bit but i found myself kind of stuck witth the following issue. My question is pretty simple (I think…) Please, can someone help me? :o
I need a field that update itself automatically for each record.
For example, if I have 2 initial fields called [Stock balance] and [Quantity delivered]; I need to find a way to have the [Stock balance] updating itself just by entering a value for [Quantity delivered] where [Stock balance (actual record)] = [Stock balance (previous record)] – [Quantity delivered]
I could create a third field Called [Quantity left]
with [Quantity left (actual record)] = [Stock balance (previous record)]
and [Stock balance] = [Quantity left]-[Quantity delivered]
but it doesn’t seem right to create a third field that is equal to an other field just with one record difference.
Anyone with an advice?
Hello all,
I need some advice for an ASP.NET web application I am working on. I am trying to automate the making of a new table within a database and then have all records from an old table migrated to the newly made table. I would like this task to run from the scheduled tasks on the server in the way of an .exe
The new table would be created on the first day of every month, taking the name of that month. I was thinking to use an empty template table which already has all the fields, and then making a copy and renaming it to the current month.
After the new table has been created I need to copy all the records from the table that represents the previous month over to the new table that represents the current month.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Hi I really hope some one can help me out here.
Here the outline of the situation. Every Friday evening I get sent a load of press adverts, which I have to put on the Intranet. This will involve detaching the ads, renaming them, adding them to the site with the Name of the paper, the date, and the organisation they belong to. What I want to know is if there is a more automated way of doing this. I was thinking weather I could detach and drop the ads into a folder and get a Access database connection to the press ads page. Which in-turn would allow me to insert the ads for the last seven days, yet keep a account of all ads which can be a called upon, via perhaps the use of a search function. This is just one idea I have had, are there any other ways I could make this mundane job easier?..

Is it possible to get Access to automatically change the colour in a form field via code etc. My problem is that i would like to easily pick/see any out of date quotations for my customers, so when the quotation date is 30 days old the text changes to red. Any advice would be gratefully received.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a multi-layered question regarding setting up an access database for fluid samples sent in by a customer.
Ideal Setup:
The database would prompt me for the Sample ID number which is a unique code we give to each sample. It would then prompt me for the customer name and if given an existing customer name it would pull up all the contact information for the customer. It would then prompt me for the machine ID# that the sample came from, from which it will pull up the data from 10 previous reports and place into the current report.
I would then input the current data for the sample after analyzing it. I then have an automated control to convert the report to a .pdf file and send it via outlook. It would also be nice if the report was uploaded onto a website that the customer could access, but this is a whole different issue.
Is this setup possible with Access 03 and if so is it even remotely possible for a newbie like me to create? Additionally, what would the time investment be for a project like this for a beginner? Are there any other more effecients ways or programs to accomplish this level of automation?
Thanks for any help you might lend!
I am having a few issues with my module code in Access 2002. for some reason every time I write some code Access is automatically making the first letter a capital so for instance [Our Ref] should be [Our ref] but it simply will not let me do it!
Temp = rstHTML!html1 & rstProp![Our Ref] & rstHTML!html2 & rstProp![Our Ref] & rstHTML!html3 & rstProp![Property Title]
I am in the process of putting together a database for use in a hotel to log details of customers, enquiries, and sales.
I have one table for storing customer contact details in ("Customers"), another table for storing enquiry details in ("Enquiries") and a third table for storing sales data in ("Sales").
Each record in Sales is linked to a customer from the Customer table, so with a simple query you can see what any given customer has spent their money on.
My boss would like to have a list of who her "top 10" customers are, over a given period, so she can work out who spends the most. I was wondering if there is a simple way to do this?
The only way to do this that I can think of is to run a query for every customer (to isolate their sales data), use the total function to add their sales together, note down the total, and input into excel (to work out the ranking). However, seeing as we have been collecting data for around a month now and have around 400 customers in the database this would clearly take a very long time. Is it possible to automate this process?
What I would like to accomplish is to make a report similar to this, except make it automated so I won't have to change the dates. Users would be able to bring up a current schedule without worry that it's updated or not. The schedule repeats itself every 6 weeks. I made a cross-tab query, but I must admit that I'm not too familiar with working on them.
View 14 Replies View Relatedautomated per-record report distribution. In my system there is a report generated with a record for every person that must be sent out to them on a periodic basis. Ideally I would like to send them out in batch(5000+ records) so that each person receives theirs via E-mail. I am not too worried about the format. Each persons record contains their E-mail address so that should make things easier.

Basically working on a Customer Order Database for my carpet shop.
I have a Customer, Job and Order table. The order table contains the line items for each job and each customer can have many jobs.
I have a field in the Order table showing the item order status being either "Instock", "To be Ordered" or "Ordered"
I also have a Job Status field in the Job Table
I would like that Field to be automated depending on the item order status for each item on the job.
At the moment the Job status is a manually selected drop down box of either; 'Ready To Fit', 'Awaiting Stock', 'Items To Order' or 'Job Complete'
For example if all of the items had a item order status of 'Instock' then the Job Status would display as 'Ready To Fit'
If any of the items were 'To Be Ordered' it would display as 'Awaiting Stock'
I dont know how i would solve the situation of some marked as say 'In Stock' some 'Ordered' and some 'To Be Ordered' ????
Also the 'Job Complete' would come from another field in the Job Table marked with a check box...
Every month I have to make a report about registration of hours of a group of employees. (These employees have a deal with direction about travel hours vs. working hours).This report has to be send to the group members but only the data which is valid for the group member in it. There are 11 persons in this group so I have to send 11 reports.
I made a query with the hours registered from this group. I couldn't export it because it was read-only. That was because the query contains joins to the employee table. After that I tried it with a report. That nearly went well but it contained all data and not the seperated info.What I need to know:What is easier/better: use a query or use a report?Is there code which looks in my query or the report and makes it into seperated reports?I've tried the code of Tony Hine but I can't make it work.After that I need to do a mail-merge. But first of all do I need to make the seperated reports to work.
Is there a way to have my database see that its a new month and then run a report that could be automatically emailed?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have searched the forums but cant seem to find a similar problem anywhere.
I am using a shared Access Database over a network with 8 users. I can successfully run an automated mail merge to Word with the following code;
********
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "qryCreateCandidateCVBasicDetails"
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit
Dim objWord As Word.Document
Set objWord = GetObject("X:CRS DocumentsDatabase TemplatesCRS CANDIDATE CV.dot", "Word.Document")
objWord.Application.Visible = True
objWord.MailMerge.OpenDataSource _
Name:="X:CRS DocumentsCRS DatabaseCRS Database V3.mdb", _
LinkToSource:=True, _
Connection:="tblCandidateCV1", _
SQLStatement:="SELECT * FROM [tblCandidateCV1]"
objWord.MailMerge.Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
objWord.MailMerge.Execute
objWord.Application.Documents(2).Close wdDoNotSaveChanges
Set objWord = Nothing
**********
For some reason on one of the PC's will not run this code; instead of executing the merge they get a message asking them to connect to a data source. It is possible to then browse and connect to the data source manually - but I cant understand why it isnt executing properly and merging the data automatically.
4 PC's on the network are running Windows XP Pro, the others are on Windows 2003. The PC with the problem is running on 2003 (although others with the same software seem to work fine).
Can anyone shed any light on this or suggest anything I could try to resolve this problem.
Any feedback would be most welcome. Thanks in advance.
I have a text box control in a form that is bound to a table field. The field is of numeric format that stores time duration in minutes. I would like to apply sort of transparent / automated conversion. It would work so follows:
- when someone read records, the text box would convert a integer number stored in the filed into text so that the text box would show the time duration in this form "HH:MM"
- when someone clicks on the text box to change the value, one would input the value in this form again "HH:MM" but the text would be converted to minutes and then stored in the database.
