Code To Open A Wordpad File From A Button?
Aug 24, 2007
Does anyone know the code for opening a specific notepad file from a button? I know there's a default button but it only opens a blank notepad page. I need to open some written instructions from a button you see.
Thanks.

How to write some code that will search a known drive and folder structure for a tif file and on finding it, open that tif file.
The known drive/folder structure is as follows:
M:CustomerSatisfactionStdDGImages
or it could have the full path as follows:
prdfs01QUESTIONSCustomerSatisfactionStdDGImag es
and then there are the following folders which contain any number of tif images:
01_Q
02_Q
03_Q
04_Q
05_Q
06_Q
07_Q
10_Q
11_Q
12_Q
13_Q
14_Q
17_Q
18_Q
19_Q
20_Q
21_Q
23_Q
24_Q
28_Q
29_Q
30_Q
31_Q
32_Q
33_Q
34_Q
35_Q
36_Q
37_Q
38_Q
39_Q
AR_Q
HE_Q

I would like to have a button in a form that the end user clicks and they then enter the name of the tif file they are looking for and on pressing enter the file is searched for and if found it is automatically opened up for them to see, if it is not found then a message "File Not Found" is displayed.
I Believe that I will need something like this:
Code:
Dim FS As FileSystemObject
Dim filenum As Integer
Dim tmp As String
Dim Folder As Folder
Dim subFolder As Folder
Dim File As File
[Code] .....
It's when I get to this point that I've got stuck, I don't know how to structure the code required to do the search and on finding the tif file open it.
An example tif file I might search for is: 0H214_2CJ0001905.tif.

Hey again all!
Implementation is going fabu, but I had a request to add a button on the main form to open the HTML FAQ I wrote. I thought I would be able to quickly point the button to the file using the button creation wizard, but that doesn't seem to work so well. (not at all)
Did I miss something or is this something that needs to be coded with VBA (very little knowledge of VBA here... negligible even.)

I have set up a database that houses file locations. The form that I have made shows a job # and the files that correlate with it. I would like to set up a command button that will read the file name and open it in Excell. If any one know how to do this I would greatly appreciate the help.

I am trying to open a workbook with a command button on a form however the path to the file is giving me a fit. The path for the file location contains spaces and I am going blind trying to figure out how to rectify the path. Heres the line. I am sure someone here will see this problem quick! Thanks.
Private Sub Command0_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command0_Click
Dim stAppName As String
stAppName = "Excel.exe N:OPSCOMMONOpsResearchContact CenterDI CCL Reporting dBApps by Agent.xls"
Call Shell(stAppName, 1)
Exit_Command0_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Command0_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command0_Click
End Sub
Heres the mess I made out of it:
stAppName = "Excel.exe N:OPSCOMMONOpsResearchContact" & Chr(32) & "CenterDI" & Chr(32) & "CCL" & Chr(32) & "Reporting" & Chr(32) & "dBApps" & Chr(32) & "by" & Chr(32) & "Agent.xls"""

I have a field on a form which the user currently has to manually type in the file path to a specific picture on a local drive. After the file path is entered, the path is linked and the picture is shown in an image box. I did this because I didnt want to bog the database down with attached files.
I wondered if I could have a browse button, which when pressed brought up the browse window to allow you to locate the image (using the standard windows browser). Then when you clicked ok, it writes the filename into the correct field on the form.

I am trying to create some code for a button in a report that will follow a hyperlink to a specific file. The problem I'm having is that the files that are at the end of the hyperlink can have various extensions (*.doc, *.docx, *.pdf, etc.) I'd like to be able to put a wildcard in the code to allow the opening of the file regardless of the extension.
Code so far:
Private Sub Command6_Click()
Application.FollowHyperlink ("C:UsersjbeggDocumentsAccessTestFolder" & [FileName] & ".*")
End Sub

I need to open a specific pdf file per record by using a command button. The pdf files will all reside in a specific folder in a partition on my hard drive. Each pdf file will have a unique four digit file name e.g 1234.pdf.The file name will match a unique number allocated to each record. This number is generated by adding 1000 to the record ID.Record 10 will therefore have an associated pdf file name of 1010.pdf.I have created a text box field , named 'TestReportID', to capture the unique four digit number per record that I assume is needed to be referred to when setting up the code to find and display the correct related pdf file.
I have set up a command button on the records form and as simple test using the hyperlink address to the folder where the pdf files reside, I can open a pdf file by clicking on the command button but it does not matter what record is open when I click the command button, it will always open the same pdf file.If I don't identify a specific file name in the hyperlink address, when I click on the button it will display a file open dialog which lists all the relevant pdf files and I can then select and open the required file.I would like to cut out that step and get the correct file to open when I click the button.

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 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 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.

Let me describe the database briefly. I have a table with two fields, item and score. Item's data type is text, and score's data type is number.
I have a form with two combo boxes and a button and some other controls. I need code for the button.
When I select an item in combo1 and another item in combo2 and then click on the button, I want the score for the item in combo1 to be one greater than the score of the item in combo2. Also, if the score of any other item is greater than or equal to the score of combo1, I want the score for each of those items to increase by one.

hi,
I was wandering if it is possible to implicitly execute code upon the opening of a database? If so how do I do this? I have code to convert the page settings of a report from a command click but wanted this to be done automatically...

Hello,
My database has two main tables: Table1 and History
Users can add data to this table and decide if store part of data into the History table using an append query behind a cmdbutton. I do this to create an Historical Log of my records.
I then have a main form (form1) with the following code on the OnCurrent event:
If Not IsNull(DLookup("[SSN]", "history", "[SSN] = '" & [SSN] & "'")) Then
msgbox "Record present in the Historical Log!", vbOKOnly, "Warning"
end if
I would now like to change this code so that users are prompt with a message that allows them to either open the form1 or the Historical log (frmHistory)
I would need something like this but cannot get it to work:
If Not IsNull(DLookup("[SSN]", "history", "[SSN] = '" & [SSN] & "'")) Then
msgbox "Record present in the Historical Log!", vbYesNo, "Warning"
If vbYes Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmHistory", acNormal, "qryhistoryfrommsgbox", "", , acNormal
If vbNo Then '
'open the regular form1.
Another thing I cannot figure is why this pop up msg comes up even if I close the form. Is there a way to revome it from the close form event?
Thanks.

This is code in a command button on a form to preview a report.
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview, "Control Room Query", "[Lot #] = Forms![Hydro COA]![LotNumber]"
What could I change in this code to use in a different command button to have the report sent as an attachment in snapshot format in an email? The user would have to fill in the address, subject and body of the email.
Thanks much!
