Hi all
How can I change the output string in the command below to simply save the document to the same folder that the DB resides??
DoCmd.OutputTo acQuery, "qryAwardsExportWord", "RichTextFormat(*.rtf)", "C:dataawards.doc", True, "", 0
any help is appreciated
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 have a form set up and I am looking to:
Set up a txtbox that will house a variable (no worries)
I want a button that when clicked to open a "MS Windows window" that allows the user to navigate to a folder. When done I need that path to be placed in the textbox I set up (Or to a variable)
Does that make sense?
I thank you all for your help it is very appreciated.
Thanks Again
I am trying to link an images (.png) onto a form. I have a folder of all the images I want but I want the path to be relative. So that if I move the access file and the images folder to a new location, it will still work.
In the properties for the image, It works fine as C:UsersjohnDesktopimage1.png but what I am looking for is the ability to use "imagesimage1.png" as the file will always be in that relative folder to the db.
What is the correct syntax for this? putting image1.png in the same directory and just using image1.png works, but this won't be very tidy with 100+ images.
I have tried:
imagesimage1.png
imagesimage1.png
imagesimage1.png
With PictureType set as linked.
I know from searching it is possible through VBA by getting the root directory of the folder and appending the filename. Don't really want to go this root. I also don't particularly want to create a table to store the images or links.
I have some code that takes data from my database and creates an email with it. It also creates a folder and a word document. In the email, I would also like to include the file path as a link instead of just the path that it puts there now. Is this possible to do?
Code:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub SendEmail_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_open_word_Click
Dim oApp As Object
Dim path As String
[Code] .....
I am using MS Access 2010. I have a code that I am using that loops through a folder gather all the names of the files in the folder and inserts them into a table (shown below). The table is named "tblFiles" there are two columns in the table titled file name and file path. What I want to do is to also loop through the same folder to find the file path of the files and insert them into the file path column has a hyperlink where users can just click on the hyperlink and the file opens.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim fs, f, f1, fc, s
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tblFiles")
[Code] .....
I have the code below and I want it to open a file from my documents folder. The only problem is that every computers path is different to this folder. Any easy way to work around and open a file in My Documents without the full path?
I want to eliminate the part of the path in red and make it universal because computers will have a different number.
Operating System: Windows 7
Code below:
Public Function AddITARPicOffloadAnalysis()
Dim xlApp As Object
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
With xlApp
Dim wb As Object
Dim ws As Object
Dim Lastrow As Long

I used to know how to get the path for the current database by running a query. I forgot how to do it. I am using Access 2003. I have tried querying the msystem tables without success. I have searched forums and the web without success. Anyone? Thanks!:)
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter some help from one of the threads here I managed to install a Browse button in a form that inserts a file path to a text box. What I need is the folder path from that file path in another text box. For example if the file path is
C:Documents and SettingsmixupSketchesowl.jpg
I would like to get either
C:Documents and SettingsmixupSketches
Or,
C:Documents and SettingsmixupSketches
in my second text box.
I do not have much experience with Access; therefore please give a little detail on how to accomplish this.
Thanks.
I've searched the forums for days and I can't find exactly what I need to know, even though this is a very common topic, so if it's already been answered, I apologize.
My problem is simple. I have a database that tracks clients for me. I have a front end and back end in the same folder. Under normal circumstances, the static links that Access uses are fine. I just link from the front end to the back end and all is well.
But some other users of the database will need to track multiple people's clients. So instead of putting the database in c:database, I may need to have a copy in c:database, c:database2, c:database3, etc.
So what I need is a (hopefully) simple way to get Access to look for the backend in the current directory, no matter what that directory might be. It may be on a network drive, or the c: drive, or any of a dozen various subdirectories. And the users who will be using the database may be very computer illiterate, so I don't want to have any user intervention required.
And so that I'm not any more confused than I already am by any code you might offer up, the name of the database frontend is tracking.mdb and the backend is tracking_be.mdb
Any ideas? Thanks in advance. You'll make my week if you can figure this out with me.
I have something like this
Code:'sets generic workspace Set ws = DBEngine.Workspaces(0) 'sets target database from workspace ******NOTE hardcoded path****** Set db = ws.OpenDatabase("E:Status ReportstatusReport_Test.mdb") 'sets Recordset to deliverablePercentComplete sql statement for target database Set rs1 = db.OpenRecordset(deliverablePercentComplete)
is there a way to replace the path in the set db call, basically it is the current database that is being worked on, thus it is the current database that is opened, is there a way to say something like...
set db = ws.OpenDatabase(currentDB)
I am trying to define a path to identify a current folder - I'll try and explain the way the following code works first (and it does work 100%)
The following code identifies folders and sub-folder structures and imports them (their structures and folder paths and filenames) into a DB
It also simultaneously retrieve's any xml docs within those respective folders and imports the XML data into the same database ........ and then moves those folders into a "processing folder" location.
Cool yes, but I can only import the XML doc's at the moment, by hard coding the path (like this):-
path = "C:UsersjeremybDesktopsnapmadXYZ123XYZFILES 0061940"
The code is highlighted as above - in the FULL code below:

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.
What I really need is for when the form opens, it looks at todays date, then matches current user and then goes to that record for today, if no current user there, then will goto new record..
i know, sounds complicated, and probably is really easy, but my heads not with it today, as about to get drunk as its my 40th, and got people ringing and texting and still trying to get this done....
I've included a copy of this database, named Timecards..
I have a split dbase and have been running the backend on a server which was linked using a mapped network drive letter and path.
Now I'm trying to connect it to a path like this. Is it possible?
\aaat.comFoldersUS-SitesNY-JunctionPassdown-passdownfilename.xxx
Trying to get the app path of the database I have open to insert into my connection string. Currently using the following:

Hi,
Ans1:
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10Msaccess.exe "
Ans2:
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program Files..Msaccess.exe "
The Ans1 works fine.
The Ans2 doesn't work.
I want to work the Ans2, because every user machine's Office path is different.
For example:
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10Msaccess.exe "
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice11Msaccess.exe "
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice12Msaccess.exe "
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice13Msaccess.exe "
So, I want to create the link with the target
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program Files...Msaccess.exe "
How can I do it?
Please let me know, thanks.
Hi all,
Can I set the default path for a dialog box to look in when called?
I have a button that allows a user to select a file using the windows select file dialog using the following code:
Dim fd As FileDialog
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
With fd
.Title = "Select A Text file to Import"
.Filters.Add "Text File", "*.txt"
.FilterIndex = 1
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.InitialFileName = CurrentProject.path
result = .Show
If (result <> 0) Then
Me!txt_path = Trim(.SelectedItems.Item(1))
End If
End With
Is there a way that I can capture the path of the file they select in a separate text box?
Thanks!

Anyone know how to find the path of your backend database using VBA code?
I am trying to determine whether the application is using a database via a network path.
Anyone got any ideas how to get the directory path where the database is running?
Thx in advance

I went to the Microsoft knowledge base (304408) and found a routine that automatically logs off users with a short warning. It works fine, but depends on the presence or absence of a small text file which is named chkfile.ozx. The file is referenced in a form timer function as follows:
Dim StrFilename as String
strfilename = Dir("c:MyDirectorychkfile.ozx")
The function then tests for its presence and does its thing. You trigger the logoff by going in as sysop and changing the name of the file so it is no longer found.
The problem I have is that on the network, I use the backend file on the network and different users map different letters to it. I get around this by linking using UNC eg. \ServerNameSYSData_be.mdb.
I put the chkfile.ozx into this directory since all users presumably have access to it.
I tried changing the trigger function to
strfilename = Dir("\ServerNameSYSchkfile.ozx")
but the program doesn't recognize the presence of the file. When I map it as "F:SYSchkfile.ozx" it works, but since all users will not be mapped to "F", it really isn't a solution.
Does anyone know the proper syntax to include in the Dir method for UNC naming?
