I have a label that I use to display certain information that will not refresh for new, but existing, records. I have prepaired/reduced an zipped Access 2003 mdb file. Would it be possible to submit this file for review in order to locate the refresh problem? The size of the file is 598KB; what is the size limitations?
thanks,
John
How do I submit a zipped mdb for help solving a problem? Is there a file size limitation?

Hey all, I'm in a pickle and hopefully you guys could help me out. My users are old and scared. They require things made in a familiar fashion which slows people in the know, but it's what makes them work well.My most recent request from them requires me to make a "Submit" button for one of the forms that way they "know" the data is in the table. However, I know of no way to hold data cached until a button is pressed.Is there a way to do such a thing? Cache data until a button is pressed? To the best of my very limited knowledge, data entry takes effect immediately.

Before i forget: Sorry about my three identical posts before :-(
Here is the thing:
I've attached a picture of one of my forms (on a very early stage). I want to save the inputs into a table1 containing all the coworkers. I want to write the value 'X' into the column selected in the drop-down menu. But only at the coworkers whose numbers are entered into the textboxes 1-6.
How is that done???

Hi,
I have a form, that has some text fields and a couple calendars for the user to select the dates from.
What I would like to happen is, after the user enteres the data, and they hit submit. I want the form to go back to a new entry, but it's not quite doing this.
The data they type in dissapears after submit, but the calendars seem to hold whatever date they used. And when they try and enter another entry, they can't select the same date as before. They have to hit a different date first, before it allows them to re-enter the same day.
Anyone know why? Is there a way to make the form refresh, or reload after they hit submit? So it will allow them to enter something for the same day?
thanks

I have a form which is used in the Data Entry mode. I have a button on it called SUBMIT which closes the form. Of course in actual fact, as soon as data is entered on the form, it goes into the relevant tables, even if the form is closed without using the SUBMIT button.
I want the SUBMIT button to actually work like a submit button, so that no data entered in the form is actually entered into the underlying queries or tables UNLESS the SUBMIT button is clicked. Is it possible to do this?
Alternatively, if there could be a MACRO or something so that if the form is closed in any other way, the data just entered is deleted.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks!
I have a simple data entry form...when the user enters in something and tabs to the next field, it automatically adds the data into that field. Is it possible to dissalow or turn this automatic update off? I ultimately want the user to complete the whole form, then click submit. At that point in time and only then will the data be updated into the table....(the submit button simply goes to a new record to add)
Or, same thing, when they tab down to the last field, and then tab to the first again (rolls over to new record)
thanks!
Hi everyone, I am new to this so bear with me.
I currently have a form with textboxes and 2 combo boxes. I have a submit button at the bottom of the page and would like this to take all the infomation from the form and add to a master table.
I was hoping to be able to create a pop up message to say "This item has been added to the database"
Can anyone help point me in the right direction?
Many Thanks!

I know many are opposed to multi-valued fields, but in this case it works out nicely for my purposes.. I pick a couple things from a table to put into a field in a separate table via multi-value lookup, and when I hit ok, nothing happens. Literally. Tried the enter button, tried a mess of different keyboard mashing, and nothing. URL....
Row Source:
SELECT [Cage Codes].[CageCode], [Cage Codes].[Company], [Cage Codes].[Division] FROM [Cage Codes] ORDER BY [CageCode];
I am working on a form and I only want the information to be inserted into the database if the user clicks the button at the bottom. In other words, if the user is filling out the form and then closes the form, I do not want that record saved.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been creating an inventory control system for my small business. I am looking for a code that will generate to another form. So for example if I take out 4 aprons from the first row by hitting the '-1' button 4 times leaving 46 in total how do I generate the information from one form to another by hitting that submit button.
My other form shows Product ID, Date Taken, Product Description, Employee who has taken it, Amount Taken, and Total left in inventory. I need the correct information to show accordingly in the Inventory control form.

I have a form (called User_Input)with 2 text boxes, 5 combo boxes and a Submit button, which is bound to a table (called Submssion table) i.e the form submits its entries into the table called Submission.
I want the submit button on the form to work based on this condition:
1. Check current submission of four fields (corresponding to entries from 4 out of the 5 combo boxes on the form) in the table and confirm if the current selection on the form already occurs in the table up to two times. If this is the case, the Message Box should pop up on the form informing user to make another selection as maximum number of entries for that particular selection is already in the Submission table.
2. The checks for the four fields will be done simultaneously as the selection will be done together on the same form.
3. However, if the entries on the Submission table is not up to 2, the entries should be saved to the table and Messagebox should display "Thank you for your Submission"
I need to use Macros for this being a web database which will be published using Sharepoint and VB is incompatible with the web database.
I have this database with the purpose to storage all the tasks that are done in my team. I have a table named Tasks with all their fields. Now, I would like to set a more user friendly way for clients to update this table. I have created another table with a list of most common tasks, so when a client wants to add their tasks list they can choose one of this tasks and add it to the list. I had created a form with multiple items that contains the common tasks and next to each task a button that adds the information they choose into the table "Tasks". This works just fine. However, I would like to add a single button at the top to add all the tasks instead of having to choose one after one.
The "Add All tasks" button has this code:
Private Sub Command79_Click()
Dim valSelect As Variant, MyDB As DAO.Database, MyRS As DAO.Recordset
Set MyDB = CurrentDb()
Set MyRS = MyDB.OpenRecordset("Tasks", dbOpenDynaset)

I recently upgraded a DB from 2003 to 2013 and ran into the following problem.
I have a button that opens a file dialog box and allows the user to upload a file to a predetermined location (and store the address as a hyperlink). I borrowed this code from someone else on here and modified it slightly.
In any case, the button still works, but now when it opens it doesn't have an option for "All files" under file types. So I can upload MS Office files, text files, etc., but not PDF files which are by far the most common types my users upload.
Private Sub Command35_Click()
Dim dd As Integer
Dim fileDump As FileDialog
Set fileDump = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
dd = fileDump.Show
Dim Yourroute As String
Dim yourrouteName
Yourroute = fileDump.SelectedItems(1)
yourrouteName = StrReverse(Yourroute)
yourrouteName = StrReverse(Mid(yourrouteName, 1, InStr(yourrouteName, "") - 1))
FileCopy Yourroute, "us170fp00dataWBO_Tool_RoomDrawings" & yourrouteName
Me.Drawing_Link = yourrouteName & " # us170fp00dataWBO_Tool_RoomDrawings" & yourrouteName
End Sub
I often create contract using mail merge. I have an access file that I want to use as data source for word file. But it does not automatically.
Please download the attached file !
If there are 1 customer and 1 property, I do not need to do anything. Conversely, if there are many customers and many properties, I take time to manipulate.
Firstly, I open the word file. I have to copy and paste paragraphs that I want. Highlight of the original paragraphs is blue.
Secondly, I click 'Insert Word Field' -> select 'Next Record'.
In short, I wish to use VBA in access file to automatically perform the steps that I have outlined.
I've got the forms and queries in one .accdb file and my tables in a separate .accdb file. The forms file links to the tables in the tables file. The tables file resides in a folder called simply enough C:acc_tables and thats where i browsed to (obviously) when i set up the linkage.
One of the users does not wish (for whatever goddamn reason) to create a C:acc_tables file to stick the tables file in , and wants the tables file in some other folder.. Unfortunately this user does not have the skills to delete the existing links and re-link to the tables file after putting it in the folder he wants.
Where in the file that holds the forms and and queries do i find the path setting to the tables linked file? Can it be changed without deleting links and then re-linking?
hello,
I would like to automate something presently done on a one-by-one basis. Here: a number of text files(containing data) are to be exported into an MS Excel file, with each text file to occupy a different worksheet. Presently, the idea is to use the Data/import external data/import data feature of MS Excel for importing the text files one-by-one into newly created worksheets(within the same workbook).
I would appreciate some advice on how to go about creating a useful MS Access application to achieve the above. I have checked the available Macros in MS Access, but I could not find one to suit my purpose. can anyone pls assist, on how I can get started?

Question: Is it possible, using VBA, to determine the actual Excel file type without opening the file?
I receive data files from other departments. Seems like every time someone changes their download structure, I end up with file types that do not match the download extension (example: xlm file with a xls extension). The files can't even be opened because of this. I think I can fix it if I could figure out how to determine what the file type really is.
I'm using Office 2010.
i had a database that allowed me from a form to store a file location for a record on a form, so i any time i could access the record, and then open the file, usually a pdf, it wasnt stored as a hyperlink, but as long text
i made the mistake of not copying the files for safe keeping when i got a permanent position..i am now back self employed, i need to recreate the database.

Public Function fTestFilePicker() As String
Dim fdFileSelection As Office.FileDialog, lstrFileName As String
Const kInitialFile = "F:TestbedTest.txt"
Set fdFileSelection = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
With fdFileSelection
.AllowMultiSelect = False

When I execute it, the file picker goes to the right folder but does not highlight the file test.txt even though that file name shows in the File name text box. Is there any way to correct this?

I currently have a batch file that ftps a text file from a Red Hat Linux Server to my W2k C:. I would like to make another command in the batch file that imports this text file into an existing access table. I would like the text file to repopulate the table everytime it is imported. I do not want the data added on to the existing data in the table.
Thank you for your time and insight.!!!:)
I'm using Access 2000. When I click the File menu to go to a recently used file, the entire path is shown. With my file system, the File drop down widow is about 50 characters too short to show the entire path all the way out to where I keep my database. Is there a way to shut off the viewing the entire path "feature?"
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a button in the form of the current access file. What I want to do is when the user click on the button,
triggered the vba to backup current access file. But since the file is currently open, is this possible? If yes, may I know how to do it with vba?
I have tried two methods but failed:
1) Use copytofile method, but I get permission denied due to file open;
2) Use dbengine.compactdatabase method, but it also has problem if the file is open.
