Copy Files Into Specific Folder
Apr 16, 2012
I have created a database that saves a link of technical data. Now i have forms where you can add the hyperlink of the data in the database. You can also type information about the data into the form (like location, what kind of part etcc.)But I was asked to save the data in a specific folder that you can select.
So what I have to do is:
Browse for a file in a form.Save the hyperlink of the file in the database.Don't save the file in the database, but copy the file that's selected when browsing to specified folder

I've been trying to search for all picture files in my documents and copy them to a folder on the desktop. I found this and it work great for searching however I'm having trouble getting the copy to work. [URL] ....
Code:
Dim colFiles As New Collection
RecursiveDir colFiles, "C:Photos", "*.jpg", True
Dim vFile As Variant
For Each vFile In colFiles
Debug.Print vFile
Next vFile
Code:
I replaced the debug.print vfile with my copy function. I've tried copyfile but it needs to specify the destination with the file name. I tried using the FSO filecopy method and can't get it to work (keep getting a compile error "Expected =") I feel the hard part is done and this part should be simple.

I'm trying to automate a process of selecting a set of file/s and move them in a folder. When I click on a button, it should open a current folder that is setup in the code.
Lets say that I have a folder C:documents est, and very time I click on the button, it should open the dialog box with that path so I can select the files from another folder, drag them there and they will be saved in that folder.
This will form part of wider automation that will send an email stating that those file/s where placed in that folder.
I have in the same form where the button is placed, 3 check boxes that needs to be passed to the email as well that one or all the files where placed in the folder.

I'm trying to write a simple little database. At one point on a form, I'm trying to merge all the pdf files in a particular folder. (I'm using the pdftke.exe program and there will be multiple pdf files)
It all works perfectly if I call it as below, with the actual paths already hard coded. It combines all the pdf files and renames it to the "merged filename.pdf" correctly
Dim stAppName1 As String
stAppName1 = "C:a folder namepdftk.exe C:another folder nameprints*.pdf cat output C:folder where merged file will bemerged filename.pdf"
Call Shell(stAppName1, 1)
However, I'm trying to have it work with the middle portion (the folder where all the pdf files are) being created on the fly so to speak.
The middle portion/path I have stored from a previous form and it's stored in a table.
So I'm trying the below, but doesn't seem to work.
Dim stAppName1 As String
Dim combine_files As String
combine_files = (this pulls a path from a stored field on the open form) + "" + CStr("*.pdf")
stAppName1 = "C:a folder namepdftk.exe (combine_files) cat output C:folder where merged file will bemerged filename.pdf"
Call Shell(stAppName1, 1)
With the code above, it doesn't seem to do anything.

I believe this is most recurring scenario for all. Any simple way like:
Code:
For each file in folder.files
Msgbox File.Name
Next File
For your information the above code doesn't work

I added to my database a button to ouput the data to PDF. It works as it should. We do print out the letters in paper and put a copy in the folder from the client (connected with the ID nr). From time to time we need to attach a PDF document to the letter and combine it. My question is now if it is possible to have some code to the button that when it finish the output to PDF it will combine all the PDF files that are in the folder and put it in a second folder. After that, I need to put the combined PDF in another folder.

I need a way to delete a folder along with subfolders and files associated with a record via command on a form:
The path is stored in a text field "txtDocuments".
For example: "C:UsersWatsonDesktopFY1515051505-010"
So, I would want the code to pull the folder location from the txtDocuments text field and delete folder "1505-010" and all sub folders & files contained within it.

I have a folder with Access files, subfolders, and some .vbs files in it. It requires one person to navigate through a setup process. Once the setup is completed, they need to copy the folder and its contents to a location on a shared drive, which is unknown to me and will be chosen by the user at the site. There could be many sites.
It basically works like this:
Files are downloaded to C:Program Files.
A vbscript is run and extracts a folder directly to the C:Drive and opens it. I'll call it C:Test.
The user manually moves the BE file to a shared drive.
The user opens the FE file and is walked through using the Linked Table Manager.
The user then follows a series of forms to input data.
After this, the FE closes and another DB opens.
The second DB walks them through the Linked Table Manager and closes.
Option #1 At this point I would like to have a script and have it copy that folder, C:Test, and its contents, and have a dialog box open telling the user to paste it in a location where all users have access to.
Option #2 A script that will backup the folder and all its contents to a shared location selected by the user.
Either option will l allow others to navigate to that location, copy the folder, and paste the folder to their C: Drive.

I have a code to add links to files into a field, I recently migrated from Windows 7 to 8 and the name of the folders in 8 are different; therefore the database I have does not find the linked file anylonger.
To avoid this happening in future, I would like to have the option for the user to set the folder path through maybe a table and then the link will refer to the settings in the table.
Currently I am using the following code:
Private Sub AddLinkDoc_Click()
Dim strFilter As String
Dim strInputFileName As String
Dim varDirectory As String
varDirectory = "C:UsersMarco TagliaferriDocumentsBA CityflyerCrew SchedulerDocumentationDocs"
[Code] ......

Open a specific Windows Folder.I am using this code to open a specific Windows folder ..... and it works perfect:
As String Dim folder
folder = "c: Documents WORD"
Dim Retval
Retval = Shell ("explorer.exe / e, / root," "" & folder & "" "", 1)
... but also need to open in the specified path, taking the data "UserName" of one field in a table:
TABLE: "Assignments" IDEExp, UserName, Date
So instead of going to the folder = "c:Documents WORD" would go to: c: Documents WORDUserName ". In Windows and subfolders are created with UserName1, 2,3,4, etc.

I have 3 attachment boxes in my table that appears in a form.each attachment box contains specific files (not specific as in extension such as PDF, JPEG, etc.) but specific as in Company Documents, Certifications, Resumes. The issue is there's a lot of document and I see my database growing (fast)...My question finally is....
Can I use a Hyperlink to open a folder within a specific directory where multiple file are located so i can open the specific file need there RATHER than attaching them in the attachment box individually?.?.....If not how this can be done (no SQL) unless that route is very simple and basic coding.
My thinking would be to place the file path to the documents in the table and hyper link that column in the table, but not knowing exactly how Hyperlinks work I don't think it would actually work..

In VBA I have set a timer on a form to run a query and export to a specific folder as an excel file.
If I open the database as 'File Open' and open the form and let the timer run it exports perfectly.
As soon as I put the database into runtime - the Timer code kicks in and starts running but as soon as it hits the export line. It stops and then does nothing
I have tried several combinations of either:
- docmd.runsavedimportexport "Query"
- docmd.outputTo acquery etc ...

I have some code set up to automate scanning from access to a specific folder on the server. I have searched the web for different codes and have not come across anything that will scan an unknown amount of documents. The best I found was the code I am currently using, that will scan up to 10 documents separately, then convert these documents into 1 PDF. This is not ideal, however, because it would require the user to scan 1 document, wait, than scan another, wait, etc. Also, the code I am currently using will only scan from the glass, not the auto feeder, and I am unsure how to change this.
Private Sub cmdCOC_Click()
'scan COC
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
Const DEVNAME As String = "Brother MFC-7860DW LAN"
Dim ComDialog As WIA.CommonDialog
[Code] .....
