Click And Open A File (I'm Sure It's Elementary)
Aug 26, 2005
I have created a database where I store my ebooks.
Therefore, let's assume that in the field "Title" there is an entry called "cooking.pdf". The file is physically stored, let's say at C:MyEbookscooking.pdf
I created a query where I get the records of the table (all or filtered) and I added a field where I wrote 'Link to Open: "C:MyEbooks"+[title] where title is the name of the field in the table, where the filename is stored.
Then I created a Form which represents the query's fields. On the properties of that last field I changed at the bottom the Boolean parameter 'Is Hyperlink' to Yes.
I assumed that by clicking on that field I will have the book opened automatically for me. Alas, it doesn't work...
I guess, it needs some piece of code, maybe in Visual Basic, which is the lang that Office is using. It's not my strenght though...
Any ideas on how to achieve this (maybe a button with a code)

I currently have a button that opens a report. the report pulls from a query that has parameters set to "fromdate" and "todate". instead of using dates and parameters that pop up as blank text boxes, I would like to click the button, have a form pop up with a combo box to select all of the options available (currently 23 options) and then click a button to make a report that only displays the record (1-23) selected. I do not need any time constraints because as the databases get updated with more records, there would be more than 23 options to choose from.

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.
Here's my code and a screenshot is attached.
Private Sub Command35_Click()
Dim dd As Integer
Dim fileDump As FileDialog
Set fileDump = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
dd = fileDump.Show
[Code] ....

I 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.

I have a few search forms that, when search parameters are entered, a continuous subform displays the results (summarised...not all fields show).
I want to be able to double click a field in any given record, and have it open in a form allowing editing of the record.
I know I need something in the OnDoubleClick event of the text box I want to double click, which would then open the form, but I don't know what code to use.
For the sake of argument, I want to double click on the txtSerialNumber text box to do it, as this is a unique field.
Thanks.

I all I have looked in the forum but can't find anything that matches I have a form containing a subform called eventswich shows some events in date order, as I have too many information on the table events I could not put them all in the subform if not only the essential information, what I need is if I double click on the field "DATE" it would open the "EVENT" form and show me all the information contained in the record.At the present time I have the filed SELECT RECORD set to NO on the form properties!
Hope I have given a good explanation!!!!
Thanks

Hello..
I have the following code that I have been trying to get to work:
Private Sub txtSocNumber_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo Err_txtSocNumber_DblClick
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "FrmApplicantFullDetails"
If IsNull(Me.txtSocNumber) Or Me.txtSocNumber = "" Then
MsgBox "This record is empty", vbInformation, "No Data"
Me.txtSocNumber.SetFocus
Else
stLinkCriteria = "[ApplicantID]=" & Me![InvestigatorID]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
End If
Exit_txtSocNumber_DblClick:
Exit Sub
Err_txtSocNumber_DblClick:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_txtSocNumber_DblClick
End Sub
I have the following two tables:
Applicant and Investigator
Applicant:
ApplicantID
InvestigatorID
etc
Investigator:
InvestigatorID
etc
The relationship is setup as 1 investigator to many applicants.
What I am trying do is this. I have form with a subform in it. In the subform there is applicant info IE SS# LName, FName and that is it. What I want to do is be able to double click on the SS# have the form "FrmApplicantFullDetails" open so you can view the work up on the applicant or edit info on the applicant.
Am I going about this the right way with the above code? Or is there something else I am missing in the code or is there code out that will do what I am looking for that is easier?
Thanks

Some of the things that bring me screeching halt really surprise me. I swear, this sounds like it should be so easy....
What I need to do is check, when the user clicks on a button, whether a specific table that is going to be modified/deleted later in the click code is already open. If it is open, I will msgbox the user to close the table first and exit the sub.
Any ideas?
All help, as always, is much appreciated!

I need to open and process the data from a text file on the network.
The first 7 characters of the file name will be the same every day.
The rest of the file name will change from day to day.
There will only be one file in the folder that has those first 7 characters.
There are a total of about 120 text files in the folder every day - give or take - including the one I need to open and read.

I have the following code attached to a form:
Private Sub Go_To_Project_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Go_To_Project_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "Project Main"
stLinkCriteria = "[R&D ID#]=" & Me![lstsearch]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Exit_Go_To_Project_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Go_To_Project_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Go_To_Project_Click
End Sub
Private Sub txtsearch_AfterUpdate()
Me.lstsearch.RowSource = "Select [R&D ID#], [SKU#], [Project Name], [Construction level], [Manufacturer], [Hobbico Status], [R&D Work By], [Product Manager], [Desktopper]" & _
"From [Project Main]" & _
"Where [Project Name] like '*" & Me.txtsearch & "*'" & _
"OR [SKU#] like '*" & Me.txtsearch & "*'" & _
"OR [R&D Work By] like '*" & Me.txtsearch & "*'" & _
"OR [Product Manager] like '*" & Me.txtsearch & "*'" & _
"OR [Desktopper] like '*" & Me.txtsearch & "*'" & _
"OR [R&D ID#] like '*" & Me.txtsearch & "*'"
Me.lstsearch.Requery
End Sub
Private Sub Exit_Search_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Exit_Search_Click
DoCmd.Close
Exit_Exit_Search_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Exit_Search_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Exit_Search_Click
End Sub
Basically a text string is entered in the txtbox and a list of matching records shows up in lstsearch box. One selects the desired record in the lstsearch and clicks on the "Go to project" button and the appropriate form (aka "Project main") and subform (aka Project History) open up with the desired record and record history.
What would I need to add to lstsearch so the users can double-click on the record to open it instead of selecting it and clicking on the "Go to project" button?
Thanks

I have a form called GetdataFrm. Within it i have a combo box that filter a query. When the combo filters, it populates a continuous subform called GetDataQrysubform. GetDataQrysubform look like a table that contains this Jobcode information:
EmployeeID Jobcode CardAccess Folders Software
When I filter the GetDataFrm form, I want to be able to click on a Employee's EmployeeID number from a single record in GetDataQrysubform and then a form called SingleRefrm would pop up taking me to that record.So far I have a event procedure coded to open up SingleRefrm, when the EmployeeID field is clicked but its not working. The code looks like this:
Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "SingleRefrm", acNormal, , "EmployeeID = '" & Me.EmployeeID & "'"

I have a text box on my form which I use to attach hyperlinks to pdf's, this works great but after inserting a hyperlink nothing is displayed in the text box to show it has been linked unlike using attachment, the only way I know if that a hyperlink is placed is to right click and go to hyperlink and then open, is there a way to show the link on the text box and just double click on it to open the pdf. I am trying this as the size of the database will far exceed the 2gb that access allows if I just use attachments , even if I split the database (over 10000 pdfs )
