Creating Batch File Running Access Query?

Dec 20, 2012

I am creating a batch in an Access Query to decompress files that come in from an FTP site. When I right click on the query and export it to a TXT file I get all the line items of the that I want without the header of the query field name. When I run the following command;

DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "Decompress2 Specification", "qry_FileNameChange2", "J:operationsDecompress2.txt", True

(Where "Decompress2 Specification" is the name of the Spec)

I get the name of the field as the first line item and then all the line items I am looking for. I use the same Spec when I manually run it or when I run it from the code. how I can get rid of the first line item when I run it from the code?

I run a batch file to change the txt extension to bat.

Running A Batch File From Command Prompt Using VBA

Apr 25, 2008

Hi,

I know this can be done but I'm a novice at VBA. I have a batch file AutoLoop.bat which I run from command prompt at the moment. The idea is to run a VBA routine behind the onClick event of a command button in Access which would run this batch file in command prompt automatically. Say if the batch file path is I:AUTOGENLOOPGENAutoLoop.bat,
what VBA code can be used.

Thanks for any help.

Modules & VBA :: Creating EXE Or BATCH File That Executes Specific Excel Macro?

Jan 27, 2015

Is there a way to create some sort of an EXE or BATCH file in any Windows Explorer folder, that executes me a specific Excel Macro?

My problem is that I got several files split up by Departments, updated every day.

So far I have to open each file and update the format.

It would make my life much more easier if I could just run a file that opens each file and applies a format to them.

Compact Access 2000 From A Batch File

Apr 14, 2008

Hi All

I am looking to find some code that I can use in a batch file to compact an Access 2000 database that has a database password set on it.

I know about "C:WIPSPOCOneCall_BE.mdb" /compact but need to find a way to pass it the password. What it does at the moment is open and waits for the password to be entered, and then it just opens.

I am looking to set up a scheduled task so that the database gets compacted every night.

Any ideas?

Cheers.

General :: Opening Access Database From Batch File Or VBS

Dec 20, 2012

Is there a way to open an Access Database from a batch file or VBS file wait for 20 seconds and then close the Access file. Preferably I would like the Access file to run in either invisible or minimized mode. I would like the Access Database to close again after the 20 seconds has elapsed.

(The reason for this is so that the Database can refresh itself from Sharepoint on another users machine so that the excel reports on his machine are up to date).

General :: Batch File To Check (version) Of A File?

Aug 28, 2012

I use a batch file to distribute the front end of a database application. Currently, everytime the user clicks the shortcut on her desktop, the batch file executes and copies the front end from a network location to user's local machine. The FE is updated like every couple of days. The users run the database more frequently.

I would like to modify the batch file so that it checks some attribute of the FE file to decide whether it needs to be updated. I can't rely on file size, since the FE includes temporary tables. I essentially need something like the "tag" property of form controls, only for files. It would be ideal if it was me who sets this property, like "version number". Except it has read without opening the file itself.

Normalization For Creating Batch Process Records

Nov 28, 2011

I am just getting started creation a new database for batch process production records that will be filled completed in the field real time. I had started out creating a table that had fields for each step of the process. Such as:

[Batch number]
[Equipment] (lookup)
[Process] (lookup)
[Step 1 start time]
[Step 1 comments]
[Step 2 Start time]
[Step 2 comments]
[Step 3 start time]
[Step 3 comments]

I have seperate tables for listing equipment, Processes and standard times for each step of the process. I realize that another way of doing it would be to create another table with a list of the process steps and then my table would look somethink like this.

[Batch number]
[Equipment] (Lookup)
[Process] (lookup)
[Step] (Lookup)
[Start time]

The problem is, I want a form (batchsheet) that already has all of the steps listed for the data entry person and simply a blank for them to enter what time they completed each step. I dont want the client to have to select a [step].

Batch File For Current Fe

Jun 13, 2005

Could someone please tell me if this is an appropriate way to ensure that all of my users open the most current version of my database each time?

I am not using workgroup security(not needed), and have the be and fe on the network drive. Right now everyone has their own copy of the fe so everytime I make a change they get a new copy emailed to them. I would like to use a batch file instead. This works but want to make sure that I am doing it correctly if I just send everyone this batch file to put on their desktop (CostSavings.bat)

@echo off

if not exist "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICEMSACCESS.EXE" goto Access11

"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICEMSACCESS.EXE" "V:ProjectMaterialsPurchSQECost SavingsCostSavings2005.mdb"
goto end

:Access11
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11MSACCESS.EXE" "V:ProjectMaterialsPurchSQECost SavingsCostSavings2005.mdb"
goto end

:end
rem pause
cls
exit

Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Toni

Batch File Issue

Jun 20, 2005

I am trying to automatically update a front end with a batch file. I have searched and found a great solution :D but I am having one issue :confused: .

The batch file runs great . . . goes to the network drive; compares the version;deletes the old front end on my system and replaces it; opens access with the new version.

The issue is that is keeps the old version open. I see on some posts that some of you did this successfully but nobody went into that detail. I have tried multiple things but still can't get it. :D

Thanks

Batch File To Start DB

Nov 10, 2005

Hi

I want to use a batch file to start the DB. This will check if the Front End is on the users machine and if not copy it over.

It will then check what version of Access they are running and use the appropriate shortcut to open the Database.

This all works fine except that the Batch File does not close down until the Database is closed. Is there anyway to close the Batch File automatically while the database is running?

The Batch file I am using is

@echo off
rem *************************************
rem ** Batch file to copy FE **
rem *************************************

rem ** Copy Database **

if not exist "c:DB" md "c:DB"
if not exist "c:DBFE.mdb" copy "NetworkPathFE.mdb" "c:DBFE.mdb"
if exist "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10MSACCESS.EXE" goto Office10
if exist "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice11MSACCESS.EXE" goto Office11
if exist "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOfficeMSACCESS.EXE" goto Office

:Office10
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10MSACCESS.EXE" "c:DBFE.mdb" /WRKGRP "NetworkPathSecured.mdw"
goto End

:Office11
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice11MSACCESS.EXE" "c:DBFE.mdb" /WRKGRP "NetworkPathSecured.mdw"
goto End

:Office
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOfficeMSACCESS.EXE" "c:DBFE.mdb" /WRKGRP "NetworkPathSecured.mdw"
goto End

:End
Exit

Any ideas?

Execute A Batch File From VBA Code?

Jan 26, 2012

I am using MS Access 2007 and I am trying, from my VBA code, to execute (or run) a Batch file. Now the batch foile works, but not from my code.

I used to be able to just do this --> Call Shell("S:AccountingAPTex FilesFile List Generator.cmd ", 1) And it would runit. But using this I get a message telling me that it is an invalid procedure call. So upon looking around on the net I found tha ton place said that with MS Access 2007 you need to do this:

Call Shell(Environ$("COMSPEC") & " /c S:AccountingAP1099 ITEMSW9 FolderCorrected 2011 W9File List Generator.cmd ", vbNormalFocus)

But while it does not error out it dooes noting eitheer. What the batch file does, when it works, is produces a list of all the file names in a folder.

Batch File For Opening Secured Databases

Jan 17, 2007

I'm sure most people use Windows shortcuts to open their secured databases, but I found that it didn't always work (depending on which computer I used). Editing a shortcut is pretty confusing since the command is all on one line. I decided to make a batch file to open my secured databases instead. Here's a batch file I use to open a database of mine:@ECHO OFFREM - Set variables to be used in the batch file.SET BACK=Z:BobManager Listdb_be.mdbSET FRONT=Z:BobManager Listdb_fe.mdbSET WRKGRP=Z:BobManager ListSecured.mdwSET OFFICE=C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11MSACCESS.EXEIF EXIST "%OFFICE%" GOTO PROMPTSET OFFICE=C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10MSACCESS.EXEGOTO PROMPTREM - Ask the user which end to open.:PROMPTCLSSET /P dbChoice=Do you wish to open the frontend(1) or the backend(2)? if "%dbChoice%" == "1" ( "%OFFICE%" "%FRONT%" /wrkgrp "%WRKGRP%" GOTO END)if "%dbChoice%" == "2" ( "%OFFICE%" "%BACK%" /wrkgrp "%WRKGRP%" GOTO END):ENDThis isn't the simplest batch file ever, but if you want to use this you just need to change the paths to your frontend, backend, workgroup file, and your version of Access. If Office was installed in the default location you shouldn't need to change those lines, unless you know you'll always be using the same version of Access.

Modules & VBA :: Backup Backend Using Batch File?

Aug 14, 2014

I've created some code to make a backup of my database backend. I've tested it and it seems to work fine, I just have some questions about it's use. Here's the code:

Code:
Public Sub backupBackend()
Dim TestFile As String
Dim strReplFile As String
Dim copyFromLocation As String
Dim copyToLocation As String
copyFromLocation = "S:Trust 2 AnalysisData"

[code]....

It will be triggered by a button push. It creates a batch file to do the copy operation and then delete itself.

In an ideal world I would schedule the backup at a safe time through the Windows scheduler, but our IT department won't allow me to do so.

The concern I have is that we could potentially press the backup button while a user is performing an action that writes/modifies data. If this were to happen would my backup potentially contain corrupted data?

If so, is the workaround to simply press the backup button when nobody is using the database?

General :: Start Batch File As Administrator

Dec 15, 2014

I'm running into the issue where some of my batch files don't run correctly when the Access Application runs them.

Batch File:

Code:
FOR %%F IN ("*.prp") DO IF %%~zF EQU 0 DEL "%%F"
FOR %%F IN ("*.drv") DO IF %%~zF EQU 0 DEL "%%F"
start "" "%~dp0Start.bat"

I believe that this is because the For loops above are deleting files and don't have permissions to do it when ran from the application.

How I can modify this VBA to launch as Administrator?

VBA Snippet:

Code:
Shell parent_path & "Copy_" & Get2000Or2100 & ".bat"

General :: Batch File To Allow Users To Copy Latest Version Of Front End Whenever Change Made

Aug 7, 2014

I have been trying to set up a batch file to allow users to copy the latest version of the front end whenever a change is made. The following is the code that I am trying to get to work properly. The first part works fine, the old front end is copied to a folder on the user's desktop as a backup. But I cannot get the copy of the server - the "P" drive, to overwrite the current copy on the user's desktop. Actually I cannot get the code to copy the new front end from the server and install it on the user's desktop. I think the path is correct for I seem to be able to run the new front end from the server.

When I look for the location on my computer, the server locations is listed as:

General (Servernamefiles) (P: ) (there is no space after the P: it seems to result in a smiley face when I type it and try to post it).

for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /T') do set year=%%c
for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /T') do set month=%%a
for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /T') do set day=%%b
set TODAY=%year%-%month%-%day%
rem echo %TODAY%

[Code] .....

This code works so I thought that the path was correct
rem this works
rem start the new DB front end
Start P:AccessMainSplitBENewFrontEndDBMain.accdb

But this code does not.
echo f | xcopy /f/y/ P:AccessMainSplitBENewFrontEndDBMain.accdb c:UsersUserNameDesktopDBMain.accdb

Neither does this:
echo f | xcopy /f/y/ ServerNamefilesP:AccessMainSplitBENewFrontEn dDBMain.accdb c:UsersUserNameDesktopDBMain.accdb
