View 3 Replies View RelatedModules & VBA :: Calling RDL File To Generate Reports From A Form Control Button In Access
Dec 2, 2014So Access was unable to manage the amount of content that I needed to produce in a single report. The reports contain 12 charts/graphs all of which I needed on separate pages (one chart per page). As such I could not create large enough charts in access to fit to each page, as Access limits the amount of space one can use in a report.
I downloaded Microsoft Reports Builder 3.0 and built my reports as needed and can generate them as desired at current. I'm wondering if there a way to call that RDL file I created to generate my reports from a form control button in Access?
Calling All Access 2007 Pros
Mar 5, 2008Hello,
I am having a heck of a time getting a Dell laptop with a WIRED connection to connect to an Access 2007 database.
After foolishly connecting to this database wirelessly, I took the wise advice of members here to never connect an Access database using a wireless connection due to Access' fragility.
But now, even when this laptop is wired to the network, it takes a VERY long time to reach the database. And lately, it fails to connect due to a network failure.
The database is hosted on a Windows Vista Home Premium OS. Two other XP SP2 machines can see and connect to the database perfectly. But this laptop (also Vista HP) cannot see/connect to the database.
I'm totally stumped! I have no idea as I'm not really sure about Vista. I know that Home Premium has much better network access than Home Basic, but this type of simple connection shouldn't be so burdensome.
Has anyone else had this problem? If not, can anyone suggest a route to take ?
Thank you for your time!

Calling A Word Document From Access
Aug 26, 2004When I click a button, I am creating a table for a mailmerge and then calling the document that merge is in so I can write letters.
Everything works properly except the line for calling a document. I've messed with it in several ways but right now it tells me I need an equal sign. Can someone who actually knows VB (I'm just pretending! ) look at this and tell me what might be wrong?

Calling An Access Function From Inside Of WORD
Oct 5, 2005My title may not accurately express my question. If you can suggest a better way to do this, please feel free to elaborate.
Within Access, I have an "Invoice Number" table, with a single field containing a number. I have a function that accesses the table, increments the number and returns it to the invoice number field.
I need a way to perform this same function to the same table from within WORD.
I appreciate your time and interest.
Calling Suer Defined Functions From Within Access Query... And More!
Nov 17, 2004Hi all,
I have quite a large select query that pulls in Date values from different tables. The end result is a list of records, where each record has 7 types of dates, put in columns A, B, C, D, E, F, G. What I need to do is, for each record to compare dates in those columns and put the LATEST one of them in the column MDATE.
I've tried using IIF function, but it grows exponentially with the number of values involved, and it can only handle 5 values before its cause error "too large". Alternatively I thought I could write a function to return the max date and call it from within the query, something along the lines of "select *, fnMaxDate(A, B, C, D, E, F, G) as MDATE from tblBLAH etc". The function is:
----------------------
Public Function fnMaxDate(a As Date, b As Date, c As Date, d As Date, e As Date, f As Date, g As Date) As Date
Dim Temp As Date
Temp = Nz(a, "01/01/1901")
If Nz(b, "01/01/1901") > Temp Then Temp = b
If Nz(c, "01/01/1901") > Temp Then Temp = c
If Nz(d, "01/01/1901") > Temp Then Temp = d
If Nz(e, "01/01/1901") > Temp Then Temp = e
If Nz(f, "01/01/1901") > Temp Then Temp = f
If Nz(g, "01/01/1901") > Temp Then Temp = g
fnMaxDate = Temp
End Function
----------------------
I've put a break at the start of the function, to see what it'll come up with but when running the query it didn't appear to call it. All values in MDATE where #error.
Can someone advise me, please, on the best way of picking the LATEST date? I'd also appreciate it if you tell me why the function didn't get called, as I was quite certain it is possible to call user defined functions from within the query.
Cheers,
Kat
Modules & VBA :: Calling Stored Procedure From Access Gives Run Time Error

Modules & VBA :: Bring Outlook GAL Dialog To Front When Calling From Access
May 30, 2014I've written a function which opens the Outlook GAL dialog, allows users to select recipients and passes back a 2-D array (recipients and type i.e. To, CC or BCC).Here is the code :
Code:
Public Function GetContactsFromOutlookGAL() As Variant
Dim appOutlook As Object ' Outlook Application
Dim objNameSpace As Object ' Outlook NameSpace
Dim objSelectNamesDialog As Object ' Outlook Select Names Dialog
[code]...
The only problem I have is that when I 'display' the SelectNamesDialog, it doesn't make it the active window and bring it to the front - it just opens the dialog in Outlook and you have to navigate to the main Outlook window to find it.I'd like for the dialog to 'popup' - ideally, without the main Outlook window dragging along behind
I believe it's possible (judging from this article) to achieve this using API's - specifically, a combination of FindWindow (to retrieve the window handle) and ShowWindowLong (to set it to a topmost window in front of all other windows).

Calling A Function From A Form
Jun 7, 2012I have created a module with a function that capitalizes the third letter in words that begin with "Mc". I have a table with the city field all uppercase letters. I created an update query that takes the field and correctly changes it. How you would go about tying this function to the textbox on the input form. So, if a user incorrectly enters "mccoy" in the City Field the function would be called and would automatically change it to "McCoy".
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs Access 2003 The Right Program For Me?
Aug 3, 2006Before I start on this seemingly endless journey of learning Access 2003, I thought it appropriate to ask the question;
Will this program do what I need it to do?
I apologise in advance if this is not the right place to ask the question, I am a complete beginner to Access 2003.
I want to make an electronic log book for the guys at work, there are 5 people of different trades who would need to keep the log.
A typical entry would be as follows
Mon 22/3/06 Alan Smith B Shift
Compressor house (heading)
No 1 compressor (plant)
Oil pump (component)
Filter cleaned (action taken)
Personel (heading)
John Jones (personel)
Phoned in sick at 15:00hrs, will phone tomorrow to update
Boiler house (heading)
No 4 boiler (plant)
Water vlave leak (problem)
Tightened gland (action taken)
There are many headings, probably hundreds of plant, thousands of components and actions taken
We would need to view events to particular plant or areas between certain dates, some personel would need to enter data, some would only view the data without being able to enter it, few would need to alter the data.
Is Access 2003 capable of this, should I start the journey?

Is Access Stable DB Program?
Apr 13, 2007I believed that Access is a stable DB program. It looks like I may have to change this view. Yesterday, due to some fault in power supply (SMPS), my PC suddenly went off while I was working in my Access DB. My DB is a personal DB (single user). Today, after replacing the SMPS, when I opened my DB, Access gave a message that my DB is corrupted while it was being used last time. It asked to attempt repair with Yes/No button. I clicked the Yes button and it did nothing. In my third attempt, I was able to open my DB but I am worried whether it will work as before. Could the experts in this forum throw some light about Access DB' stability and measures to prevent corruption? Grateful for advice.

Opening A Form Based On The Same Table As The Calling Form
May 22, 2006Hi All
I have a form based on a table called tblListMaster and I want to allow users to open up another form showing all the members of one of the entries in that table so I have added a button called 'Show List Members'.
The list members form which I then want to bring up is also based on tblListMembers (it's a master-detail form). When I hit the button to open up the list members form I get an error message saying that the table is already opened exclusively.
I can understand why I get that message so I thought I would be cunning and create a dummy form which I open up, passing in my list id in the openargs (at that point I also close the original form) and then from that dummy form automatically open up the master detail form and close the dummy.
Code in List Master form
Private Sub cmdListMembers_Click()
' open up the list members form
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmDummy", acNormal, , , , , Me.ListId
DoCmd.Close
End Sub
Code in Form Load of dummy form
Private Sub Form_Load()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMaintainListMembers", acNormal, , , , acWindowNormal, Me.OpenArgs
DoCmd.Close
End Sub
Sadly I still get the same error message - does any one have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Calling Field Value To Form Textbox
Mar 21, 2006Hi. I have spent ages searching, but I can't find anything relating specifically to what I want to do, and I'm simply not experienced enough to make up the code as I go along.
I want to call a value from a field in TableA to a textbox on a form bound to TableB. I know, its probably simple, but I can't figure it out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can Access Accept An SQL Request From Another Program?
Feb 8, 2006I have noticed diagrams showing Microsoft SQL Server accepting SQL statements sent by “SQL Requesters” over connections. I would like to know if Microsoft Access can be used in that fashion?
Put another way, can Access be configured to accept an SQL statement that another program (e.g. a VBA program in a VBA enabled 3rd party app) creates?
Currently, my VBA program instantiates an Access database object and then manipulates it (I just add a record to one of the tables), then closes and destroys it. This solution seems fragile (it stops working—I can explain more if needed). I would like to know if the technique inferred by my question would be more reliable.
Can You Program Access To Automatically Close If Not In Use

Program That Document Access Applications
Jul 3, 2007I have seen advertised a number of programs whose developers claim the program will document an application for you.
They're relatively expensive - several hundred $ as I recall. But if they work, it could save many days of headaches.
I was wondering if anyone had used them, if you'd recommend them etc.
