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.
View RepliesI 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"""
:confused:
Is this possible? A command button when click will open an excel file... :rolleyes:

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.
Dear All:
I have created a from which contains names, address, ID's and other data.
I wish to place a command button on the form and when it is pressed, a page pops up with instructions on how to use the database.
Any ideas on how to get started?
Thanking in advance,
Dion
Is it possible to have a cmdButton open a pre saved image from your hard drive. The images are saved with the same name as the Account Number. (ex: AcctNum -- TA123409 Image -- TA123409.bmp) I want the cmdButton to open the image filtered or based on the Account Number. If so, could someone show me a sample OnClick code. Thanks

I have a form with a drop down list that is coming from a query (City Query)
I have a command button to open a form for data entry to the City table -
When I open the form for city add a record - close the form.
I then go to the drop down list (city query) to select the record that was just added to the city table and the record is not in the query.
What do I need to do for the newly added record to show in the query drop down?
I have created A command button (OK) on the form but can't figure out the code. My Scenario is:
1) I have 2 cascading combo boxes
2) I have a text field as attachment
What I want is to select the value from second combo box then I want to click command button to view the attachments instead of double clicking the attachment and also I wanna ask is there any way to modify the display view of attachments in access a part from paperclip and image icon.
I have based a form on a parameter query, so that when the user is prompted to enter a 'Hobby' to search on, the relevant records will be displayed on the form.
Now, I have created a command button designed to open a template letter in MS Word for a particular hobby. The problem is, I need the command to open certain file depending upon the value input in the parameter box intially. How would I go about doing this?
Hi All,
I have a form called "frmProducts" which is linking to table "tblproducts".
Easy Enough...
The form shows all the Products information (fields).
I have a "More Info" command button (cmdMoreInfo) next to every record in the form.
When the command button is clicked I would like it to open up another form "frmMoreInfo".
But On frmMoreInfo I would only like it to show that specific product.
I have tried the following code on the on click event on the command button but it was always asking me for the value of Form![frmMoreInfo]![txtInternalCode]
Code:Private Sub Command12_Click()On Error GoTo Err_Command12_ClickDim stDocName As StringDim stLinkCriteria As StringstDocName = "frmMoreInfo" stLinkCriteria = "Form![frmMoreInfo]![txtInternalCode]=" & Me![txtInternalCode]DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteriaExit_Command12_Click:Exit SubErr_Command12_Click:MsgBox Err.DescriptionResume Exit_Command12_Click End Sub
Any Ideas?

I am trying to open MX Excel using a command button. I have tried using a hyperlink and various codes that i have found online with no luck. The Excel file is being used by Access as it bring data from the spreadsheet and displays it within a subform. (I think this is where the problem occurs) The subform displaying some data from Excel is working fine but when i click my hyperlinked button (To open the excel file) i am met with errors and the file will not open.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI wish to create a forms that has command button which display a drop down list. The drop down list should contain commands for reports and forms.
Lets assume we have forms named FrmStock, FrmSales and we also have Reports named RptUserLog , RptTurnover.
I would like to open a PDF document using a button control on a form to a file path listed in a field on the form (Me.Link). I am trying to use the followHyperlink code but I keep getting the runtime 490 error.
This is the code im using:
Dim strFilePath As String
strFilePath = Me.Link
Application.FollowHyperlink (strFilePath)
If I put a filepath to one of the pdf documents in the place of (strFilePath) it opens that pdf document fine but not when I declare a filepath based on the one listed on the form.
I have a form, and on that form I have a textbox called RefDwgNo (user not allowed to make changes...just for viewing). Displayed in this textbox is the name of a file (without the .pdf extension). I changed the textbox to 'is hyperlink' and added to OnClick- this code:
Private Sub RefDwgNo_Click()
FollowHyperlink "***private***engineering_data***Private***Des ignFitoutLabel Plate\_LATEST REV"
End Sub
The user needs to actually open the .pdf file, not the folder its located in. How do I add the file name from this textbox to the code above?
I want to use command buttons to open two separate .csv files in the same excel workbook on different tabs. Is this possible?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am creating a database. I have all my forms, queries, tables, reports just as I need them. However, I would like to have a command button on my switchboard that will pull from a query to feed to a Word document (that's actually a letter on my company letterhead). I know a Macro has to be involved with this, but again, I have little to no knowledge of Macros. Also, I would like to be prompted to enter a client ID number when I click on this command button (because I only want to print a letter for a new client, not all of them).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to add a command button to my main menu to open the contact names as a datasheet, I have changed the properties on the contact names form to datasheet as well as changing the properties on the button to the below:
Private Sub Command48_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Contact Names", acFormDS
End Sub
at first after I saved it, the button did nothing. Now after a bit of playing around (probably not a good idea) I have a new message that states:"The expression On Click you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Ambiguous name detected: Contacts_Click.To add some additional information, in the vba sheet above the code i wrote above it says:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub Contacts_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Contact Names", acFormDS
End Sub
Private Sub Contacts_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Contact Names", acFormDS
End Sub
should I delete this?
I'm trying to use a command button in a form to filter and open a report. I am able to get it to open the report, but I cannot get it to filter the report based on a combobox in the form. I've tried every combination of code I could think of and find. Here is what I currently have:
Code:
Private Sub FilterReport_Click()
DoCmd.OpenReport "Report", acViewReport, "First Name='" & Me.FName & "'"
End Sub
Code:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.RecordSource = Me.FName
End Sub
"FilterReport" = Form Button
"Report" = Report
"First Name" = Report Field
"FName" = Form Combo Box
