I had looked at the Shell() function but I don't see it doing anything such as input and output.
Does anyone know the use of the VBA's command line that would send an input and receive an output to the VBA's variable?
Is there a built in function which can be used to create line numbers in a query?
I've written a query to calculate year to date (YTD) points for yachts in a series of races and sorted it in descending order - so yacht 1 is coming first, yacht 2 is coming second etc. I'm looking for a way to add sequential numbering (starting at one and increasing by one for each line) into the query to represent their YTD places. Or this this something that should be left to the report which uses the query?
Input/Output
I’m reading “Selecting the Data” from Running Microsoft Access 2000, pp. 87-94. The confusing part is the input/output explanation. When I think of input I think of typing, keying, or entering raw data into the computer. Output to me is information displayed or printed.
Okay, here is what was printed:
“A data item is an input for a task if you need to read it from the database (but not update it) to perform the task. For example, a customer name and address are some of the inputs needed to create an order. Likewise, data is an output for a task if it is new data that you enter as you perform the task or that the task calculates and stores based on the input data. For example, the quantities of items you enter for an order are outputs; the shipping address and phone number you provide for a new order are outputs as well.”
The above is confusing me. Can anyone explain it better so this dummy can get it? Thanks!
Hello,
I've been attempting to run dos commands from access by attaching dos commands to buttons on a form. That part has gone smoothly. However I have been unable to get the output from the dos commands to display on the form. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much.
I'm using the following command to output a form as a PDF
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputForm, "Frm_RTA", acPDF, outputFileName
outputFileName is a variable I've created for file path / name etc...When I run this command, I get a popup box asking what format I'd like to export / save the form as. I'd like to disable this and just have it save as a PDF.
I have a vba module call runme with this code

i have a production database in which i have different sections processing on the same product. i have a daily production entry form on which datewise entry is done for each section.
i want to maintain the total stock of each section (sectionB) with productName, input from sectionA , production from sectionB, balance (input-production) . presently i used query for this .. but i need a stock table in which entries should be inserted by an automatic query .. how should i achieve this :
1. by an append query who runs every time to append the quantity when a daily entry is made .??
2. by an update query to replace the quantity with a qty from totals query ?

Guys, any idea how to evaluate the command line options used when an Access application is started from a command line.
For example I use the following command line: C:..MyDatabase.mdb /parameters:110001110
Then, in VB, I evaluate the string "110001110" and do the further job.
Is there any property or function to return the command line option string?
Thanks

hi all,
got a wee problem... i have a number of graphs showing volume (x axis) and pressure (y axis) for particular pipe sizes.... (it's for pneumatic conveying)
depending on the resolution of the hand drawn graph there could be 100's of points along a single graph line (x and y points)....
My program basically needs to select a point(x and y) closest to the graph line that it intersects. (come on mech. engineers)
Problem is how should i store / input the graphs into the db file?
I'm trying to avoid have to literally input every x 'n y point per line per graph... there are about 20 lines per graph and a 100 odd graphs!!!
I was thinking of inputing a start and end point then use some sort of formulae to draw a logical line and pick up all the xy points i need, then store them...
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Hi Folks,
This may not be an Access problem per se, and if not, I appologize in advance.
I have a FE/BE split database with multiple users. I have found out how to add a command line switch to the shortcuts (the shortcut must go to the application first for any switches to work) which opens the database front end nicely. Problem is, I can't get it to connect to the appropriate WIF.
I have tried copying the text from "Microsoft Access Inside Out" which didn't work as it has "/wrkgroup" rather than "/wrkgrp". My set up wouldn't accept that.
Anyway I'm half way there but stuck now. I don't get any error messages when I use the shortcuts but Access stays joined to whatever WIF it was connected to the last time it was running.
I have searched this site but couldn't find anything regarding this specific problem, in the recent past at least.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
I have copied the details from the 2 shortcuts below. The first is to my database and the networked WIF, the second to Access to return the desktop PC to the default WIF. I have also added the Access version number and operating system version numbers.
This is the shortcut to my database with the workgroup switch set to the WIF created for this database:
Target:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11MSACCESS.EXE" "C:EDT DBWC-ED0023001R0.02a-fe.mdb" /wrkgrp "K:EDT FOLDEREDT DBED.00.23.001_WIF.mdw"
Start In:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11"
Network Drive WIF Path:
K:EDT FOLDEREDT DBED.00.23.001_WIF.mdw
This shortcut is supposed to restore Access to the default WIF on the desktop PC:
Target:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11MSACCESS.EXE" /wrkgrp "C:Documents and SettingsQPUserApplication DataMicrosoftAccessSystem.mdw"
Start In:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11"
Desktop WIF Path:
C:Documents and SettingsQPUserApplication DataMicrosoftAccessSystem.mdw
Access path:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11Access.exe
Access Version:
2003 (11.6355.6408) SP1
Environment:
OS NameMicrosoft Windows XP Professional
Version5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 Build 2600
Thanks in advance,

Is there a command line argument to open AND close a db? I am running a schedule task to open a db which has an autoexec macro but I don't want the db to stay open after running the macro. Or is there a close db function in a macro? I see close form but not db.

I have had my 4th SQL/APP Dev lab class, however I missed the 5th.
Our 5th lab was .
1. Create 3 tables, populate with given data and create relationships. 'Customer, Invoice, Payment'
2. We were given 8 queries to try do, we had to come up with which commands would be used.
I have no 1 completed.
As for no 2.. we are still learning all the commands, so the lab here is for us to find what commands we think will be used. I have researched and have them all 6 queries we have to run.., I have all those commands written out on paper which I think are answers..how to find the command line to test them.
I'm using Access 2007 on Windows 7.
I'm working with Access 2010 and am trying to use the transferspreadsheet command to output data in a query to an Excel 2010 format file. Here is the line of code:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, "q_calldetails_tmp", "c: emp estoutput.xlsx"
It works fine and produces the output file but when I try and open it with Excel I get an error saying the format is incorrect. If I change the extension to .xls it opens with no problem but I need it to be an Excel 2010 format with correct extension.
what is the correct syntax to write a command line able to UPDATE more than one field in the table records having multiple WHERE criteria.
Here is my challenge:My TableI has the columns A, B, C and D which are populated, for example, as follows:
TableI
A B C D
1 2
2 6 4 3
1 7 5 9
1 2
2 5 8 5
etc.
I also have a FormII which updates TableII. Among the existing fields of TableII there are the fields C and D (same as above). When saving data entry thru the save button of the FormII, fields C and D will be naturally saved on the TableII. Well, I also want C and D info updated into Table I as well, but only when field A=1 and B=2.So what I need (for the click event of the button save in the FormII) is to open TableI and either insert or update it with the values of the fields C and D in every record WHERE A=1 AND B=2.For instance, assuming C=& and D=%, the desired result should be as follows:
TableI
A B C D
1 2 & %
2 6 4 3
1 7 5 9
1 2 & %
2 5 8 5
I did not find any examples in the net including multiple criteria..Here is what I wrote unsuccesfully:
Private Sub BtSalvarFrmII_Click()
CurrentDb.execute "UPDATE TableI"
Set FieldC = Forms!FrmII!FieldC.value AND Set FieldD = Forms!FrmII!FieldD.value WHERE FieldA = 1 AND FieldB = 2
Docmd.save
Docmd.close
End Sub
What would be the correct syntax?
Access 2007. I can run the report for last month and with the VBA code outputting it directly to PDF and it works. When I run it for this month, I get an error 2501. This report has been running for months with no issues. When I run it for this month and preview the output, I can export it to PDF with no problems. Why can't I get it to work in VBA for this month?

I would have thought by inputting: VisitDate.Value=Date() it would have worked but no such joy.
Sorry if I sound really stupid! ;)

I looked thru the forums and didn't seems to get what I needed;
I want a count query to give me all fields in "group by" column, and assign 0 to where there are no count for certain fields.
I tried to set Outputallfield to "yes" but got an error message saying that there is a data type mismatch. The query ran just fine when outputallfield was set "no" and gave right results.
Can anyone help, please?
NO matter what I do I can't get the InputBox to work
Code:
NewEmailAddress = InputBox("There is no Client Email Address on file would you like to enter one?", "Information Required")
It just won't display or stop at the above command.
I have 2 text boxes and 1 push button for each text box for input to table. When I click on 'SaveInput1' only Input1 is save onto the Table and when 'SaveInput2' is click only Input2 is save. I want each command button to save each input separately.
I know ACCESS have a SAVE RECORD function, but I do not want to use this because it will save the entire record all at once.
TextBox1 = Input1
TextBox2 = Input2
Commandbutton1 = SaveInput1
Commandbutton2 = SaveInput2
I'm trying to have a command button send info on the form straight to Outlook as a meeting. So far, the code below works apart from the address bit. I need the code to automatically add the same 2 email addresses as recepients everytime.

Runtime error '438'

I'm new to VBA, so don't understand what is wrong here. The reference is set, I've tried different permutations of the "To:" & "Recipients.Add" for the email address with no joy.
