Batch Deleating Of Access Objects
Nov 17, 2004
I need to update a number of copies of the same application in different locations.
To do this I need to import new objects (ie. 10 forms, 3 queries, 5 macros etc.).
This takes two steps:
1. Delete the objects in the old DB
2. Import the objects into the odl DB from a temp DB that contains the new objects.
Is there any way to batch delete a bunch of objects? Otherwise I have the chance of missing an object and have the import create a replacement object (ie. fUpdateForm1) with the numbver 1,2 3 etc appended.
I can't just swap out the old database and replace it with a new database, and I already have my data linked from anther DB.
Thanks

I am trying to make on load even to check if server side applicate FE is same as of client side FE. For this I am quering a field to check no and if it is not same then to start a batch file which copies and replaces client side FE.
Problem is if access application is running, it gives error. So I need to close the db and replace application.
I know xcopy command to replace file but do no how to trigger close application.
Please advice or else any new method is welcome.

Hi All
I am looking to find some code that I can use in a batch file to compact an Access 2000 database that has a database password set on it.
I know about "C:WIPSPOCOneCall_BE.mdb" /compact but need to find a way to pass it the password. What it does at the moment is open and waits for the password to be entered, and then it just opens.
I am looking to set up a scheduled task so that the database gets compacted every night.
Any ideas?
Cheers.

Hi All
I need to schedule the opening of a MS Access database which is password protected.
I think the best way to do this would be to use schedule a batch process to run, can anyone help with the script to create a batch proccess to only OPEN and CLOSE an MS Access database?
Thanks

Is there a way to open an Access Database from a batch file or VBS file wait for 20 seconds and then close the Access file. Preferably I would like the Access file to run in either invisible or minimized mode. I would like the Access Database to close again after the 20 seconds has elapsed.
(The reason for this is so that the Database can refresh itself from Sharepoint on another users machine so that the excel reports on his machine are up to date).

I am creating a batch in an Access Query to decompress files that come in from an FTP site. When I right click on the query and export it to a TXT file I get all the line items of the that I want without the header of the query field name. When I run the following command;
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "Decompress2 Specification", "qry_FileNameChange2", "J:operationsDecompress2.txt", True
(Where "Decompress2 Specification" is the name of the Spec)
I get the name of the field as the first line item and then all the line items I am looking for. I use the same Spec when I manually run it or when I run it from the code. how I can get rid of the first line item when I run it from the code?
I run a batch file to change the txt extension to bat.

As I am having difficulty keeping my database at work digitally signed due to other users using the database; I was curious if I could create a batch file to automatically run at night to sign the database, so that it can automatically update in the AM, without being prompted questions. Or something of this sort?

I have two database applications and they are:
- the (A) application is for administration use.
- the (B) application is for normal users use.
the idea is that: I made the (A) application for administrators who have full control over the database objects (tables, forms, queries, and so on ...).
the (B) application I have created for normal users who will have only to use forms to insert some data and display data only.
but the two applications has a respective table called "vacation request" table. where I linked them, so the both administrators and users can share the data.
The real question is that: How can I prevent the users from seeing the database objects in their application. I used the database options which have helped me in hidding the database objectives when the users open the application, but unfortunately they managed to access to the database objects by pressing the special keys.
I would like to have an access to the (B) application when I want to make some modifications to the forms and then lock it from users where they only have to use the forms for requesting vacations and view the vacations.

I was wondering is anyone could help me with a problem thats been vexing me all day..
I have an Access database that has a number of Word documents stored as OLE objects. What I need to do now is create a macro within Word which, based on a few parameters, retreives these Word Docs from access and formats them into a completed document. The ordering and formating bits fine, where I'm stuck is getting at the OLE objects.
Can anyone give any advice on a possible solution?
Thanks, D

I am doing bug and enhancement development for an existing Access Application.
Periodically (after testing) I need to take my changed objects and export them to the production database.
My problems are:
1. Is there any easy way to tell which objects have been changed (is there any flag I can set at the beginning of a development cycle and then check to see which objects have been changed)
2. When exporting these objects they don't replace the existing objects in the Production Database they add a new object with the number "1" appended. If there was a form called "fCustomer Input" I end up with a new form called "fCustomer Input1"
This problem must come up with other development efforts.
Help
Thanks

Is it possible to have a button on a data access web page that saves the record and then refreshes the screen? I have the data access page in data entry mode under page properties, and I want the person entering the data to press the save button, which saves the record and clears the screen for the next record.
I am running this in frames (I currently have 4 frames on the web page) and if you set the button as "add new record" which works for a regular page, with frames, it doesn't clear the screen, but rather puts the data entry form below the original.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

using VBA in Access and Excel. I have an Excel form that I am using to collect data as the front end and an Access database to house the data as the back end. In my Access database I want to create a module that will open the excel files and retrieve data from Active X combo boxes, option buttons and checkboxes that are on the Excel form. I have been searching for the VBA code to get data from these objects but have not been able to find any examples. How to reference these objects and get the values from the excel form

I want to export different objects (i.e. modules, reports,tables, queries...) from another ms access application. How can I list the objects so I can pick from them and then import them. I know ms access has a wizard and I am looking to do the same but a little different because I have an application that I want to filter my objects by a criteria.

Is it possible (using the menu or VBA code) to find out the size of the objects in an Access database file?For example if the .accdb file is 300Mb, is there any way of comparing the size of the numerous tables/forms/reports/queries etc, that make up the database?(I know that if I created a new access file and imported the objects from the working database that could give an indication but that would be quite a repetitive process).

If my database gets quite large is there a way to create various groups under the Queries object? What about Reports, etc?
For example, within Queries, have qryGroup1, qryGroup2, etc.
What about color coding queries?

Hi,
Is it possible to simulate a control array in MS Access?
I’m using a restricted version of Access 2000. I can use all normal features but some Active X controls are not licensed and it will not be possible to licence them in time I have available for my project.
I have a form which has 14 combo boxes and 24 text boxes to allow user to choose shift type and enter start and end times of shift. I know in VB 6 I have used control arrays which has vastly simplified the whole code.
I have experimented with treating the text boxes as objects and trying to create a string with the first part of the name and using numbers to differentiate between the textboxes but Access does not seem to like this.
The code I have tried is below:
Dim obTextBox As TextBox
Dim str As String
str = "Forms!frm_Shift_Entry_3!txtFST2"
‘Set obTextBox = Forms!frm_Shift_Entry_3!txtFST
'Set obTextBox = str
obTextBox.Name = "txtFST2"
obTextBox.Value = Format("12:35", "Short Time")
'b = 7
'obTextBox.Name = "txtFST" & b
'obTextBox.Value = Format("17:12", "Short Time")
commented out sections are other options I have tried.
Can anyone point out any mistakes I’m making or advise whether this is possible in Access?
Thanks
Frozbie

Using Access 2010.I purposely disabled the Access Objects to open when the database opens of fear of someone messing with my data. This works. The problem I'm having is when I use the print button (access macro) on one of my forms, as soon as i click the button, the "all access objects" window opens on the left side navigation.Is there a setting that will permanately stop this from opening?

My Access 2007 database with one main table. There are associated queries and reports that sort under that table when I have tables and related views checked. The problem I am seeing is some clearly related objects fall under unrelated objects and not with the table.
Short of using a custom group and sorting them manually?

Depending on what the user entered, there will be a copy command.
example :
If answer = 1 then
copy command
If answer = 2 then
a different copy command.
Any help will be appreciated.

Could someone please tell me if this is an appropriate way to ensure that all of my users open the most current version of my database each time?
I am not using workgroup security(not needed), and have the be and fe on the network drive. Right now everyone has their own copy of the fe so everytime I make a change they get a new copy emailed to them. I would like to use a batch file instead. This works but want to make sure that I am doing it correctly if I just send everyone this batch file to put on their desktop (CostSavings.bat)
@echo off
if not exist "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICEMSACCESS.EXE" goto Access11
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICEMSACCESS.EXE" "V:ProjectMaterialsPurchSQECost SavingsCostSavings2005.mdb"
goto end
:Access11
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11MSACCESS.EXE" "V:ProjectMaterialsPurchSQECost SavingsCostSavings2005.mdb"
goto end
:end
rem pause
cls
exit
Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Toni
