Copy From A Drive To A Folder
Feb 27, 2006
Hi.
I have been searching previous threads and the help file and got half way, but have got stuck.
I want to copy all files from a floppy disk to a drive on a directory on a server. I can check to make sure the directory exists and if not, can make it. All I want to do is copy all the files from the floppy disk drive (A drive) to the direcory I have just created.
I got this from the help in access:-
FileSystemObject.CopyFolder "c:mydocumentsletters*", "c: empfolder"
but can't get it to work......is this the way I want to go?
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Frank.

My workaround was to temporarily map the URL to a vacant drive letter on the local machine, then copy the file over, then drop the mapped drive again. A bit clunky but doesn't incorporate much of a delay and this download only has to happen once per day.
The good news is, the file download / copy now works every time. The bad news is that removing the temporarily mapped drive after the copy has taken place, doesn't and I can't figure out why.
Here are the functions I use to map / unmap the drive :
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Const RESOURCETYPE_ANY = &H0&
Private Const CONNECT_UPDATE_PROFILE = &H1&
Private Const RESOURCE_CONNECTED As Long = &H1&
[Code] .....
I have separate functions to check existing drive mappings on the local machine and thus determine an appropriate vacant letter to use for the temporary mapping - they work fine.
Unfortunately the UnMapDrive function returns False (even though I switch the active drive to C: and force the connection to be cancelled with the fForce flag) So the mapping always remains on the users profile.
I don't want to permanently map drives on the users' profiles, just briefly for the purposes of this daily file download.

I need a facility in the access VBA coding to check if a directory exist.
It does exist, I need to open it and check for a specific file.
Or if the directory (folder) exist, to determine or display folders within.

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 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'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 open a folder based on a BIN nr. This folder could be in a main folder that has diferent subfolder. As there where differnt naming used to create the folderes, one of the things they have always is the BIN nr. It alwasy start with a unique number and maybe I could use it to scan the subfolders and open that one that the BIN nr is equal as in the field BIN.
Now we have serveral 1000th of folders and finding them takes time.

Hello,
I have an exrternal shared drive "E:"where I put my be files (which are constantly accessed by users with fe's from different terminals). Everytime
I reboot the computer that I am working on (where the external drive is), I have to set up the permissions of the shared drive "E:" all over again, otherwise other computers have no access to E. Is there a way that I could
fix this and not having to set permissions every time I reboot my computer?
For some reason, the permissions are lost.

I have a db on a network drive and the performance is terrible, it runs fine on my local machine. How can I make it run better? The db is only 2 megs so I figured it would be ok, but since my forms have numerous queries within them, performance stinks.

Hi,
Does anyone know if Access has a built-in control that allows users to scan the directory structure of their PC? Similar to the DriveListBox and DirListBox controls in VB6? If so, how might I get access to it?
Thanks

Is there a way to verify the drive that an FE is opening from and then close if it is not where is should be?
I have a frontend that gets copied to each users C: drive by a .bat file. However, some just don't care about rules and proceedures and continue to open the frontend on the network drive. Since they map their drive to a specific letter drive for the BE that is where they are opening the FE from.
Thanks
Rich

Can I keep my queries in the C drive and execute it against tables that are in the LAN network drive ? Right now the queries are also in the netowrk drive. So each time when I refresh the data into C drive, I have to import the queries too.
Is it possible to keep the queries in the C drive and execute against data in the netowrk ? Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Hello all:
I have the following code to retrieve doucments:
strPath = "G:CorpCustomer Files"
Application.FollowHyperlink strPath & "" & textbox1 & "-" & textbox2 & ".doc"
This works fine from my computer because the shared drive on my computer is saved on the G drive.
I tried using the code from a coworker's computer, but got an error because her shared drive is : "X:CorpCustomer Files"
Basically anyone can access the Corp server through any drive depends on how it was mapped.
How do I get around this so that it works from any computer as long as the user has the Corp share drive?
Thanks much.

I have an MS Access database that sits in the users local area e.g. C:Users....
I have the following code which will open a user guide on a server shared by all users.
Code:
strFilename = GetUNCPath("T:") & "19_InformaticsInternal Offer Transfers" & "Utility User Guide.doc"
Users have different drive letters for the server name. In my case it's "T:" but for others it may be"S:".
Is there any code which would determine what drive letter each user has? The server name is
denasvf1acorpHR_GLOBAL_1HR_Shared_Service_Data

I was just wondering how many users Access would be able to handle on a split frontend and backend database? The backend will be on a network drive and the frontend will be installed on each workstation. My database is pretty simple with no relationships if that matters. Also using Win7 and some users will have Office 2010 and others will have 2013.

I have my database connected to a network of ten computers. I recently switched my linked tables from a Mapped Network Drive to using the actual UNC path \computerfolderdatabase.mdb
My users have started to notice it takes longer for the database to connect in order to log in. Once they have established the connection, the data transfer speed seems to be normal.
Is this to be expected? Any suggestions to speed things up for login? Or is this the downside to using UNC?

does anyone know if it's possible to "install" the runtime version of access 97 (we do have developer's edition, so can distribute the run-time version) to a thumb drive so that it would run without having to install it on each computer that one was going to use the thumb drive on - is there any add'l software that would make this possible/ - the application is for figure skating clubs - with distribution of up to 1000 copies - the idea is to distribute them to member clubs and various officers could use the application and exchange up-to-date data by passing on the thumb drive - this also would hpefully avoid all installation problems with pc's having various versions of access already installed, etc. - thanks for any suggestions- jim

I have seen some API that gets the serial of the hard drive, but this information is not unique and changes when the volume is formated.
Does any one know of a way to return the orignal manufucture's information/serial which is unique(GUID) to the volume.
Any Idea will be highly appreciated.

I've created a database on put it on a shared network drive. I have several people who will need to use this database but I dont want some of them to be able to edit the database in anyway.
Ive tried creating individual user accounts for the database but I don't think I'm grasping how the security works.
When on my machine I'm promted for a username and password but when on someone elses machine they can open up the database with full access.
How do i create individual user security accounts on a database I want to share on a network drive?

I was using the database when there was a network error and I had to close it. When I tried to reopen it I got the error message: Record(s) cannot be read; no read permission on 'MSysAccessObjects'. I logged off the PC and logged back on various others, but keep getting the same message. Can anyone tell me if this is terminal or is there a way around it. I do have a backup, but it's a few days old and a lot of work will need re-entering' so any help would be appreciated!!
